I fixed pbuilder quite some time ago, and "localhost" now resolves properly. > According to #897662 this used to work - has it regressed? I don't think so… that was part of pbuilder 0.230, which is in stretch-backports+. And I haven't done many changes since then. Once thing I noticed last month though, is that the way /etc/hosts is create is odd and causes a leading \t: |mattia@warren ~/pbuilder/build/3684584/etc % cat hosts | 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain warren warren.mapreri.org | | ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 | fe00::0 ip6-localnet | ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix | ff02::1 ip6-allnodes | ff02::2 ip6-allrouters | ff02::3 ip6-allhosts That's also fixed in git. Could that be causing issues for glib? But I don't think that's the case, since I can build it here with that leading \t… :( > We could probably work around this in glib2.0 with a Build-Depends on > libnss-myhostname | netbase, or the other way round. > Related to <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=939099> > (which is about whether the name in /etc/hostname resolves to a local > IP address, whereas this one is about whether localhost resolves to a > local IP adddress, but installing libnss-myhostname or netbase will > usually fix both those anomalous situations). that's indeed a slighly different problem. I already fixed pbuilder for that in git, where `hostname -f` resolves back to 127.0.1.1. https://salsa.debian.org/pbuilder-team/pbuilder/commit/36860888738ca61295a50bcd6626363843a73f03 -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
