Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I recently installed network-manager since it's become a dependency of the
gnome meta-package. When network-manager started it nuked my network connection
(which I'll report separately), and then proceeded to change my /etc/hosts file
as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.2 heffalump.sk2.org
became
127.0.0.1 heffalump.sk2.org localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.2 heffalump.sk2.org
I don't think this is as expected...
Regards,
Stephen

In that case I’ll just close the report! It does indeed seem more like a
feature than a bug; the real bug in this instance was that eth0 was dropped
(something similar to #503665 or #504918, on initial installation rather
than on upgrade), but I’ve tried to reproduce that without success...
