I have confirmed that "hostname" in the mail sent by apticron matches
the output of "hostname -A", and not that of "hostname -f". ("hostname
-f" produces the name it used to use, and that I wish it still used.)-A seems just wrong here, since it completely ignores the host configuration and uses only information from the DNS, which may not even exist (presumably producing no output), and, when it does exist, is not infrequently not under the control of the host admin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884043 Title: apticron uses in-addr.arpa record instead of hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apticron/+bug/884043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
