[Hostname-devel] Bug#573375: calling 'hostname' fails

[Jeremiah C. Foster]

Package: hostname
Version: 3.03
Severity: normal

Calling hostname alone works, it produces the host's name. However any other call
to host name produces this error message: hostname: Name or service not known

i.e. hostname -i
