Quote:Troubleshooting
Hostname changes with appending incrementing numbers
This is a known bug that is caused by a hostname race condition. One possible workaround is disabling IPv6 to attempt to prevent the race condition. If multiple interfaces are present use allow-interfaces to limit Avahi to a single interface. Another possible workaround is to disable the cache to prevent Avahi from checking for host name conflicts altogether, but this prevents Avahi from performing lookups.
Certainly, wasn't known to me
Since the bug has never occurred in my environment, I can't attest to the workarounds. Disabling IPv6 would be easy but IPv6 is enabled on my hosts (although not in use) so there you are. Are you perhaps using multiple interfaces?
