Description:
This bug is the same as #42638 that was marked as fixed 4 years ago but apparently that problem is presenting again.

If we send a DBus message to org.freedesktop.Avahi when avahi-daemon.service is not running we will get an error "Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service failed to load: No such file or directory" because usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.Avahi.service tries to start the dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service systemd service that is not available.

To solve this there should be a symlink of /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service.

Additional info:
* avahi 0.7+16+g1cc2b8e-2

Steps to reproduce:
with avahi not running execute `$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Avahi / org.freedesktop.Avahi.Server.GetHostName`
The output will be "Error org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service not found."
This task depends upon
