[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#688061: avahi-daemon: useless warnings on logs (non standard compliant)

[Francesco Potortì]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.31-1
Severity: minor

Avahi-daemon spits these messages on the log file:

Sep 18 16:58:29 ala avahi-daemon[2278]: Received response from host xx.xx.xx.xx with invalid source port 50491 on interface 'eth4.0'

This has been a problem known since 2009, at least:
 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438013>

But more recently it appears as a new standard has come out that
dictates that those warnings shouldnot be there, for the happiness of
those who don't like their log files cluttered with useless reports:
 <http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Received-response-from-host-router-IP-address-with-invalid/td-p/405931>

If I am not wrong, the conclusion is that those warnings should not be
there.
