Package: initscripts Version: 2.88dsf-13.11 Severity: normal Hello,
Since yesterday, `hostname` returns the FQDN and also $HOSTNAME is set to the FQDN. /etc/hostname contains just the hostname (a single word) and is readable, so I assume /etc/init.d/hostname.sh somehow doesn't read /etc/hostname anymore. Perhaps this is related to the /run switch? Either hostname.sh isn't executed or /etc/hostname isn't read. /etc is on the / partition, as is /boot, so this is not a mount problem. X behaved funnily as applications couldn't connect to the X server anymore due to the hostname changing – probably during an apt update, or perhaps some daemon crashed. While the problem appears minor, the consequences might be more serious, depending on what exactly is in /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts and friends.
