[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#768620: [avahi-daemon] Install fails

[Trent Lloyd]

That “something” is system itself, activation via dbus as something is trying to use Avahi via d-bus.

See here:
Dec 16 14:27:50 Zia dbus[1350]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.Avahi' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service'

I suggest you try “disable” instead of “stop” the service to prevent it being re-activated.
