Package: avahi-daemon Version: 0.6.31-5 Severity: normal This bug report is the same as of the old report #556461, which in my opinion was closed for the wrong reason.
I have my daemon.log full of lines like these: Aug 3 09:37:50 tucano avahi-daemon[2917]: Invalid response packet from host 146.48.86.21. Aug 3 09:37:50 tucano avahi-daemon[2917]: Invalid response packet from host 146.48.86.21. Aug 3 09:37:50 tucano avahi-daemon[2917]: Invalid response packet from host 146.48.86.21. Aug 3 09:37:51 tucano avahi-daemon[2917]: Invalid response packet from host 146.48.86.21. Since I do not control hosts on my network, those lines are useless to me. However, they constitute 98% of lines in my daemon.log, because they are generated at about 3-seconds intervals. I think this problem is serious enough to classify it as a bug, because it makes my daemon.log difficult to manage and read. There should be a way to disable those warnings, or at least have them generated at much longer intervals. The reason for closing #556461 was that a particular problem was corrected in avahi, but that was not the issue: the problem is that any possible bad response for any node in the net fills up my logs. This is definitely bad, and my only workaround at the moment is to filter out those messages through syslog, which is definitely undesirable. -- Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Voice: +39.050.621.3058 ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Mobile: +39.348.8283.107 via G.
