Package: inetutils-ftp
Version: 1.9.2.39.3a460-3
Severity: normal

Hello there,

it was recently observed by the upstream developer,
after receiving a bug report, that all versions of
the FTP client in GNU Inetutils are replacing any
host alias by its canonical name just after having
established the connection.

This is best observed by the fact that a stanza in
the netrc file specified for a host alias, different
from the corresponding canonical host name, never will
be accessed, so any special macro or commands tailored
to the alias are ignored.

The upstream development tree has mended this issue.

Regards,
  Mats Erik Andersson
