So, the "Recommends:" by gnome-control-center should be dropped.

I had "files" first in "hosts:" (I suppose that this corresponds to /etc/hosts), and still first after libnss-myhostname got installed. This means that libnss-myhostname overrode it.

What does "Existing installations are not modified." mean? I ask this because /etc/nsswitch.conf got modified. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
