Please try to repeat this crash (remove avahi-daemon) with an English
locale (LC_ALL=C.UTF-8), and get a backtrace:
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace

I couldn't reproduce this crash myself on a minimal virtual machine,
because I get a different crash instead, which is not fixed by installing
avahi-daemon (I've opened a separate bug). On my (non-minimal) laptop,
I couldn't trigger this crash by removing avahi-daemon.

It might also help to set the environment variable G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
before running gnome-control-center: this would result in more messages
being printed.
