I think I have found the issue.
My service file is setup like this:
<!-- See avahi.service(5) for more information about this configuration file -->
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
<service protocol="ipv6">
<type>_http._tcp</type>
<port>80</port>
</service>
</service-group>
In the file
avahi-daemon/static-services.c
function: entry_group_callback, if a conflict is detected a new name is
created and stored in g->chosen_name and an attempt is made to add the service
again with this new name.
case AVAHI_ENTRY_GROUP_COLLISION: {
char *n;
remove_static_service_group_from_server(g);
n = avahi_alternative_service_name(g->chosen_name);
avahi_free(g->chosen_name);
g->chosen_name = n;
avahi_log_notice("Service name conflict for \"%s\" (%s), retrying
with \"%s\".", g->name, g->filename, g->chosen_name);
add_static_service_group_to_server(g);
break;
}
The problem is in add_static_service_group_to_server. There is an if to see
if g->chosen_name = NULL or if the replace-wildcards is set to yes. If either
of those are true ( in my chase it is ) it then frees the g->chosen_name and
rebuilds it with the same name that was in conflict to begin with. It never
tries to add the service with the new service name so I continually receive the
“Service name conflict”.
static void add_static_service_group_to_server(StaticServiceGroup *g) {
StaticService *s;
assert(g);
if (g->entry_group && !avahi_s_entry_group_is_empty(g->entry_group))
/* This service group is already registered in the server */
return;
if (!g->chosen_name || (g->replace_wildcards && strstr(g->name, "%h"))) {
avahi_free(g->chosen_name);
if (g->replace_wildcards) {
char label[AVAHI_LABEL_MAX];
const char *p;
p = avahi_server_get_host_name(avahi_server);
avahi_unescape_label(&p, label, sizeof(label));
g->chosen_name = replacestr(g->name, "%h", label);
} else
g->chosen_name = avahi_strdup(g->name);
}
