etckeeper fails to commit if "hostname -f" fails (because of a misconfigured hostname). I tend to think that the user should fix his hostname in that corner case, but nevertheless added support for working around that in 0.37ubuntu1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/377265 See attached patch for proposed implementation. Basically it uses "hostname" if "hostname -f" fails to avoid any commit failure. Hope this helps, -- Thierry Carrez
