1.15.1.  RHBA-2009:1119: bug fix update

Note

This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK errata RHBA-2009:1119
Updated avahi packages that fix log output when invalid packets are received are now available.
Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zeroconf Networking. Avahi and Avahi-aware applications allow users to plug a computer into a network and automatically view other people to chat with, see printers to print to, and find shared files on other computers.
If Avahi receives an invalid mDNS packet, then it will write a message to syslog. The log message does not include the originating IP address of the packet, so it is not particularly useful to track down the source of the issue.
This update changes the log message to include the originating IP address of any invalid mDNS packets. This update also fixes some minor spelling errors in other log messages.
Users of avahi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these issues.
