Public bug reported:
Well Im not sure if this is a bug, hopefully someone with stronger gnu-
fu can chime in :)
I changed the hostname in the manual network configuration, which seemed to
work fine.
Was told to log in again, and everything worked as usual.
However it broke a wine application, which after much back and forth I traced
to a gethostbyname() failing.
Checking /etc/hosts it had the old hostname listed, while manual network
configuration showed the new.
I assume /etc/hosts should update as you change hostname, if not maybe a
warning is in order as it is not easy to track down a mismatch?
This was on fully updated 32bit feisty, amd64x2
