Description (last modified by jmpalacios (Juan Manuel Palacios))
Recently my system.log started containing the following, repeated every 10 seconds:

Avahi is installed as a dependent to something else. So I am not sure what actually will fail. But clearly the above means that Avahi is not working, and is generating a lot of data in my logs. I did try to restart, but that didn't change anything.

So this is likely caused by the recent gnome-vfs upgrade, which now depends on avahi instead of the howl dead project. I will look at this problem.

I went through my system.log and realized that this started after my first reboot in a long time. So it seems that some port update, followed by a reboot, causes this problem. My understanding is that some launchd changes don't "take" until after a reboot. So my suspicion is that something about how launchd and avahi interact is not handled correctly. But that this change doesn't happen until there is a reboot.
