Uploaded same fix to Wily for processing by the SRU team. ** Description changed:
+ [Impact] + + On systems with a long hostname, nano either segfaults or refuses to + work properly. + + [Test Case] + 1- set a long hostname with "hostname thisisareallyreallyreallylonghostname" + 2- try and edit a file: "nano /etc/hosts" + 3- make sure there is no segfault, or error in nano window: "Couldn't determine host name..." + + [Regression Potential] + + Patch is quite simple an obvious. A regression would mean lock files + wouldn't work properly. + + + ---- + + + Original description: + Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 nano: - Installed: 2.4.2-1 - Candidate: 2.4.2-1 - Version table: - *** 2.4.2-1 0 - 500 http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 2.4.2-1 + Candidate: 2.4.2-1 + Version table: + *** 2.4.2-1 0 + 500 http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - - After upgrading Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10, when I run nano as root on a file it just segfaults.
