Public bug reported:
Hi,
i am running the server edition of Ubuntu LTS on a HP Proliant server.
That avahi daemon is driving me crazy.
The server is named Server1 , retrieves it's IP address pseudostatically
from a DHCP server, and announces several of its services through avahi
(e.g. offering print services to iPads, that's why Avahi is needed).
every now and then (not always) avahi daemon claims to have detected a
name collision at boot time. It then logs
Aug 22 13:09:40 Server1 avahi-daemon[1520]: Host name conflict, retrying
with <Server1-2>
and uses Server1-2 as it's name, causing even the DHCP-Server to apply
with a different host name, thus causing a new IP address to be
assigned. This damned avahi daemon is breaking my network structure and
does not even tell in the logs, where the conflict came from or what
made the daemon believe that there was a conflict.

avahi daemon erroneously assumes host name conflicts (and causes more
trouble then)
