Actually, the default value of ::1 might just depend on whatever you use Ubiquity or the Debian Installer.
First of all I downloaded a fresh ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.iso, and followed the "Default install" instructions from http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerWhole. That gave me a /etc/hosts containing "::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback" Then I downloaded a fresh ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso, and followed the "Ubiquity Whole Install" instructions from http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopWhole. That gave me a /etc/hosts containing "::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback" This finding actually matches my previous experience. I pretty much always use the Debian Installer, in one way of another. Hence it would make sense that I've only seen the ""::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback" version. -- Apache2 has trouble handling (ip6-)localhost https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285132 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
