That is obviously an endless loop.
Routine note for the archive that avahi is another one of Gene's Demons and the above is not in any way true. I have 50+ Debian hosts that do not have avahi installed at all, and several more that intentionally do and work fine. As usual, Gene's experiences are due to a misconfiguration that Gene made and cannot be helped with, despite many people trying over a period of years. When you see a post from Gene mentioning liberal use of "rm" and "chattr +i" on parts of the operating system, do begin to question what you are reading.
