Well Launchpad kept timing out when I tried to edit the description so here's the SRU info.

[Impact]
avahi-dnsconfd fails to upgrade causing lots of bug reports.

[Test Case]
1) sudo apt install avahi-daemon=0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu2 avahi-dnsconfd=0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu2 avahi-utils=0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu2
2) in a separate terminal run 'while true; do avahi-browse -a -t; done
3) sudo apt upgrade avahi-daemon avahi-dnsconfd avahi-utils

With the version of the package from -proposed you should not receive a crash report and should see the following instead:

Preparing to unpack avahi-dnsconfd_0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb ...
Job for avahi-daemon.socket canceled.
dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: ... it looks like that went OK

[Regression Potential]
This has been in bionic for a while with no regressions.
