Bug#580086: Messes up /etc/hosts on every call

[Goswin von Brederlow]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.181
Severity: important

Hi,

I'm using pbuilder in an environment where local hostnames are
resolved via NIS. Since I do not want to pollute the builder chroot
with the NIS packages and don't want all hosts to be visible inside
the chroot anyway I have added the hostname for the local debian
mirror in /etc/hosts inside the chroot. Checking the base.tgz manually
I get:

$ cat etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.55.101  ql-dev
192.168.53.104  ql-bak

But when I run pbuilder --login or --build I get:

root at ql-dev:/# cat etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.55.101  ql-dev
192.168.53.101  ql-dev

which is the systems /etc/hosts file. It seems that every time
pbuilder unpacks the base.tgz it copies /etc/hosts <chroot/etc/hosts.


So how am I supposed to set a hosts entry?
