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

[Louis]

I did download and install the latest version 0.6.32 but I still see those warnings about the Invalid response packet.
For example with commands:


pi at raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service avahi-daemon status
● avahi-daemon.service - LSB: Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon)

pi at raspberrypi:~ $ sudo avahi-daemon --version
avahi-daemon 0.6.32

I did struggle with the new compile and install though since I am new to
the Linux system.  Is there anything I may have missed or done wrong?

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.
