avahi-daemon chroot failed

Another annoying journal error:

avahi-daemon[301]: chroot.c: open() failed: No such file or directory
avahi-daemon[285]: Failed to open /etc/resolv.conf: Invalid argument

Copy avahi-daemon.service from /lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system. Edit /etc/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service and add the “After=systemd-resolved.service” line like below and restart. This should result in no error:

avahi-daemon[364]: Successfully called chroot().
avahi-daemon[364]: Successfully dropped remaining capabilities.
