Tested on trusty amd64, extraneous syslog messages have disappeared. As there is no rollup package in trusty to fetch everything, I had to install the following packages from trusty-proposed
All are version 0.6.31-4ubuntu1.1_amd64 avahi-daemon/trusty-proposed avahi-utils/trusty-proposed avahi-autoipd/trusty-proposed <Just installing the above doesn't do the trick. The libs are needed, or at least some of them> libavahi-core7/trusty-proposed libavahi-client3/trusty-proposed libavahi-common-data/trusty-proposed libavahi-common3/trusty-proposed libavahi-glib1/trusty-proposed libavahi-gobject0/trusty-proposed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to avahi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1342400 Title: avahi-daemon constantly reporting "Invalid response packet from host" Status in avahi package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in avahi source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in avahi source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in avahi package in Debian: Fix Released 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.
