Comment (by nodje.co at gmail.com):

 I'm actually having the same problem.
 Slightly different though, as it says

 {{{
   Failed to find user 'avahi'
 }}}

 this is my system.log trace (repeated every 10s):

 {{{

 such file or directory

 avahi-daemon before avahi-dnsconfd.

 }}}

 I've launched the command you mentioned but with no effect.
 In my case it doesn't even mention Dbus not being running.
 Shall I just create a 'avahi' user and group? How come they could be
 missing?
