Summary: Test suite bug: partial hostname finger completion failure 
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: None
Status: None
Original bug number: 


Initial Comment:
If a known hosts file contains entries staring with the same letter as the first one returned by compgen -A hostname, the finger test breaks.

$ compgen -A hostname | head -n 1
localhost
$ echo "lala,127.0.0.1 ssh-rsa foo" >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

This results in "FAIL: Tab should complete partial hostname".

$ echo "lulu,127.0.0.1 ssh-rsa foo" >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

This (lulu sorts higher than localhost) results in the testcase becoming unresolved (assuming there are no entries in known hosts files that sort lower than localhost in my case).

Shouldn't get_hosts() (or the finger test) be using _known_hosts_real?
