Package: netbase Version: 6.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Systems installed by d-i get such an entry, but chroots created with debootstrap don't. That sometimes causes issues, e.g. cups fails to build in a chroot that doesn't have an entry for the local hostname.
The attached patch makes /etc/hosts in chroots consistent with the one in systems installed by d-i. I tested this end-to-end by creating a fresh chroot using mmdebootstrap and pointing to a regular debian mirror and a local repository with a build of netbase including this patch, and it works as intended.

Subject: [PATCH] /etc/hosts: include entry for local hostname
Systems installed by d-i get such an entry, but chroots created with
debootstrap don't. That sometimes causes issues, e.g. cups fails to
build in a chroot that doesn't have an entry for the local hostname.
This patch makes /etc/hosts in chroots consistent with the one in
systems installed by d-i.
