Package: erlang Version: 1:17.3-dfsg-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
If I run the Erlang shell "erl" with the "-name" option on a Debian machine with a hostname that consists of only lower-case alphabet characters in this manner: --> erl -name shane I get an error like the following: --> {error_logger,{{2015,1,23},{20,52,7}},"Can't set long node name!\nPlease check your configuration\n",[]} However if I declare the long node name explicitly it will succeed: --> erl -name shane@$HOSTNAME Thank you. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages erlang depends on: ii erlang-asn1 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-base 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-common-test 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-corba 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-crypto 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-debugger 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-dev 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-dialyzer 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-diameter 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-edoc 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-eldap 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-erl-docgen 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-et 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-eunit 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-gs 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-ic 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-inets 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-megaco 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-mnesia 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-observer 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-odbc 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-os-mon 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-parsetools 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-percept 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-public-key 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-reltool 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-runtime-tools 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-snmp 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-ssh 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-ssl 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-syntax-tools 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-test-server 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-tools 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-typer 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-webtool 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-wx 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-xmerl 1:17.3-dfsg-3 Versions of packages erlang recommends: ii erlang-examples 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-ic-java 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-jinterface 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-mode 1:17.3-dfsg-3 ii erlang-src 1:17.3-dfsg-3 Versions of packages erlang suggests: pn erlang-doc <none> pn erlang-manpages <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
