No, I meant that I had found a version of an old network.pl in my system and had thought it was modern.
I've taken another short look at system-tool-backends, and found ensure_loopback_statichost in line 329 of Network/hosts.pm. If that function is called with the hostname, it still does what this bug complains about; however, as that is its name, that's not really surprising... the point of the bug was that hostname should not always be an alias of loopback. Finding if the function is really called when the hostname is already defined is beyond me at this point -- I don't even know if it is exposed to GUIs or not. So, actually, I'm no longer sure if the bug is solved, and if not, which package it belongs in. Hope this helps... -- [network-admin] aliases hostname to 127.0.0.1 unconditionally https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24874 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
