[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#794145: fills up logs with useless (?) "Invalid response packet from host ..."

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.31-5
Severity: normal

wastes disk-spac, obscures monitoring, etc.  Manages to spit out about 10 a
second (that will be 360000/hour! or more than a million in a work day!)

Meanwhile I guess I will just have to patch it manually

$> journalctl -f
