[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#639163: avahi-daemon is polluting my system log

[Sergey Spiridonov]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.27-2+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

Hi

After upgrading to squeeze logcheck starts annoying me with following messages:

Aug 20 23:49:00 legba avahi-daemon[31709]: Invalid response packet from host
f0ff::ff4b:e1ff:fe3c:3730.
Aug 20 23:49:00 legba avahi-daemon[31709]: Invalid response packet from host
192.168.22.13.

The guy at 192.168.22.13 is a printer which I can not fix.

There must be a way to stop this pollution, for example some ingorelist in
avahi config file.

And why avahi-daemon is installed by default at all? It is useless for most of
users.
