[Bug 1342400] Re: avahi-daemon constantly reporting "Invalid response packet from host"

[Trent Lloyd]

Most likely your issue is that the system init scripts are starting the
packaged binary from /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon instead of your compiled
binary from /usr/local/sbin/avahi-daemon

I am going to build and propose an SRU to precise & trusty to fix this
issue.


For Debian Jessie on your rpi, you'll need to file a bug at bugs.debian.org (though I think there already is one)

Title:
  avahi-daemon constantly reporting "Invalid response packet from host"

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After installing Ubuntu 14.04 (Release: 14.04) and looking for other
  information in /var/log/syslog, I see that syslog is being flooded by
  "Invalid response packet from host" messages from avahi-daemon.

  I searched around to see why this might be and ran across the following avahi mailing list post along with a patch to fix it:
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2012-July/002171.html

  >>>
  I would say you can safely ignore it, since any machine on your
  network running a recent OSX version will cause these messages.
  Here's a patch with what we change to avoid these messages flooding
  syslog.
