What's causing this AVAHI error

[RockDawg]

I was looking at my log and noticed a ton of these lines in my log.  They seem to repeat every 90 seconds.  I don't have any Apple products.  Any idea how I can eliminate these messages?

Did you ever figure this out? I am getting the exact same errors.

[wit3k]

Hi, I have that same problem. Log file is full after tree days..... any sugestion?

[steini84]

Same here on beta 30

I just installed Beta 30 and I'm getting this error now. So many "not fitting in legacy unicast packet, dropping." messages filling up my logs. I do have a CUPS docker installed that has Airprint on it and a single Mac in the household.

I just hat the same problem and could solve it by disabling IPv6. This seems somehow related to a loopback issue where avahi tries to reflect the packets on a broadcast but sets the interface attribs to loopback
