Im getting this on my Rasspberry Pi 2 also ... every few seconds ... v annoying
192.168.1.15 is a windows 10 box that is hosting a share im connected to using CIFS

Sep 14 07:41:22 pi-server avahi-daemon[2628]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.1.15.
Sep 14 07:41:47 pi-server avahi-daemon[2628]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.1.15.
Sep 14 07:41:51 pi-server avahi-daemon[2628]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.1.15.

liked the idea of getting a script to run to clean it out
added this into a script file in /etc/cron.hourly 

sed -i".bak" '/Invalid response packet from host/d' /var/log/syslog

seem to work well....just removes the lines directly from the syslog and
creates a backup /var/log/syslog.bak

Title:
  avahi-daemon constantly reporting "Invalid response packet from host"

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After installing Ubuntu 14.04 (Release: 14.04) and looking for other
  information in /var/log/syslog, I see that syslog is being flooded by
  "Invalid response packet from host" messages from avahi-daemon.

  I searched around to see why this might be and ran across the following avahi mailing list post along with a patch to fix it:
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2012-July/002171.html

  >>>
  I would say you can safely ignore it, since any machine on your
  network running a recent OSX version will cause these messages.
  Here's a patch with what we change to avoid these messages flooding
  syslog.
