Bug Description
Running Ubuntu 17.04, have avahi-daemon 0.6.32-1ubuntu1 installed.
If I check syslog, every 5 - 10 seconds there is a set of messages like message like:
Jun 15 20:53:01 dan-pc avahi-daemon[6673]: Registering new address record for 2001:1970:
Jun 15 20:53:01 dan-pc avahi-daemon[6673]: Registering new address record for 2001:1970:
Jun 15 20:53:01 dan-pc avahi-daemon[6673]: Withdrawing address record for 2001:1970:
Jun 15 20:53:01 dan-pc avahi-daemon[6673]: Withdrawing address record for 2001:1970:
etc..., which is clearly not normal. (This was also tested on a brand new installation of Ubuntu 17.04, same issue). Attached is a small sample of my syslog file.
This also seems to impact other programs that use an ipv6 connection. For example, Google Chrome - half the time I try to load a webpage I get "your connection was interrupted; a network change was detected". After about a half-second, it proceeds to load the webpage, although often doesn't load it properly. This does not affect all websites (likely only those that support ipv6).
See https:/
Disabling ipv6 seems to work as a temporary workaround.
I am also not sure whether this bug is caused by avahi, or whether it is just experiencing the most "symptoms".

This is known upstream but not yet solved, working on it I have a theory
