Package: nis Version: 3.14-2 Severity: normal On a newly installed machine, I had not yet configured a hostname properly. "hostname --fqdn" returns status 1 and an error message. This results in installation of nis failing as follows:
Setting up nis (3.14-2) ... hostname: Host name lookup failure dpkg: error processing nis (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 The nis.config script should be adjusted to cope with this situation. It should allow for "hostname --fqdn" to fail. fqdn=`hostname --fqdn 2>/dev/null || hostname` would do the job. hostname alone returns "debian" and no error.
