Thanks, Axel and Holger. So the situation is: I've uploaded -2 in order to - see what the buildds say - get more diagnostics - get a .buildinfo file And the result is: - it built on my laptop and on the buildd - we should have a .buildinfo file :) - it still fails on the reproducible build servers - and the diagnostics there failed as well (fixed in git, I got the order wrong) Taking a step back: What the very simple module does is to try and guess the FQDN of a machine, with various methods. And it seems this doesn't always work (cf. "hostname: Temporary failure in name resolution" in the logs of the failures but all other methods which are tried later apparently fail as well). So I guess we can say - that the module and the tests probably work in most "real" situations - but it can fail under "special" circumstances, which the RB hosts and Holger's build machine triggered (but nothing else or before, like Lucas' archive rebuilds). We can now - say "good enough" and forget about the issue - or reopen the bug and lower the severity (and retitle it to something like "Sys::Hostname::Long fails if there is not networking/no DNS/something"). I'm not sure if/how the bug can be fixed, or if a failing `hostname' is ultimately a bug in the package or in the environment. Hm, and after writing this mail, I think that an environment where `hostname' fails is maybe really to special in order to re-open the bug. But I'd still like to hear other opinions, that's why I started this mail in the first place even if the bug is already closed :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Kings of Convenience: My Ship Isn't Pretty
