Comment 17 for bug 1319941

From https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755309:

--- snip ---
I have Avahi service publishing disabled with the following setting in
/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf:

  [publish]
  disable-publishing=yes

Attempting to run either LibreOffice Draw or LibreOffice Impress fails, giving
an error message like this:

  $ soffice --draw
  Adding service 'pangloss'
  Failed to add _impressremote._tcp service: Not permitted
  soffice.bin: client.c:626: avahi_client_free: Assertion `client' failed.

With service publishing enabled, these applications start up normally.

[...]

Disabling service publishing is IMHO a reasonable security measure which is
suggested in the avahi-daemon.conf man page; I use Avahi mDNS as a client for
printer discovery but don't need to broadcast services to the net. I think
LibreOffice should be able to deal with this without refusing to run.

I agree...
