After the upgrade and reboot finished, my /etc/hosts file was trashed. Before the upgrade (yay backups) it said: --------- 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ged.localnet ged # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts --------- After the upgrade, it said: --------- # Do not remove the following line, or various programs# that require network functionality will fail.127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost --------- To be clear: 1) This file contains no newlines (even at the end of the file). It is one long mangled comment line. 2) All the usual IPv6 and localnet boilerplate has disappeared. (Maybe that's intentional? I'm not really sure what it's needed for anyway.) WTF?
