Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.7p5-2
Severity: normal
I have the following entry for my local host in my /etc/hosts:
2001:960:70e:1::1 messy.foodfight.org messy
and every time I sudo I get the following warning in my terminal and
mail:
sudo: unable to lookup messy via gethostbyname()
If I change the IPv6 IP to an IPv4 IP it works fine.
