Package: hostname Version: 3.11 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
The binaries for this package are inconsistently hard-linked by the
Makefile. Note that all are hard-linked together except hostname
itself:
mattcen@toto:tmp$ dpkg -L hostname | grep bin/ | xargs ls -il
10403 -rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 18760 Feb 17 2012 /bin/dnsdomainname
10403 -rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 18760 Feb 17 2012 /bin/domainname
10402 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18760 Feb 17 2012 /bin/hostname
10403 -rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 18760 Feb 17 2012 /bin/nisdomainname
10403 -rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 18760 Feb 17 2012 /bin/ypdomainname
I think the correct fix for this is to sym-link all binaries to
'hostname' rather than hard-link them:
sed '/ln/s/-f /-fs /' Makefile
Alternatively, if, for some odd reason hard links are required:
sed '/ln/s/-f hostname/-f ${BASEDIR}\/bin\/hostname/' Makefile
