I did a big system update yesterday ( 52 pkgs ), incl Net-tools Dhcpcd ,
& on restarting today found that hostname is not being set :

  root:505 etc> echo $HOSTNAME
  (none)

Previously it was 'localhost'.

The problem seems to be in  /etc/init.d/hostname ,
as the init process reports :

  Setting hostname to localhost ...
  /etc/init.d/hostname: line 24: hostname command not found
  *Failed to set the hostname [!!]

I've updated Openrc to the latest testing 0.22.1 , but no change.
I've also tried permutations of changes to  /etc/init.d/hostname .

Can anyone offer advice ?
