 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.
