thanks; that is a concrete example, and I find reports of this problem.

So what is the suggested fix?

It would be interesting to see what happens in Fedora (which usually
support GNOME well, and possibly have libnss-myhostname by default).

It wold also be interesting to see if the libnss-myhostname code
included in the systemd code base has this fixed.

There is a longish thread on d-devel about /etc/hosts:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/07/msg00809.html
But it does not touch on the issue of the FQDN.

I guess we want libnss-myhostname to do whatever the default
installation does right now... What would be a precise specification of
that?

Greetings,
Joachim
