Bug#127971: boot-floppies: Missing loopback device and localhost in /etc/hosts
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.17
Severity: important
When installing from CD, and not configuring the network during
install, the loopback device is missing from /etc/network/interfaces
(giving lots of warnings and error messages after boot, and breaking
some server daemons), and localhost is missing from /etc/hosts.
The only entry in /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1 is the hostname gived
during install, like this:
127.0.0.1 debian
(I belive the entry should read '127.0.0.1 localhost debian')
This do not happen when configuring the network (I only tested with
ethernet configure with static IP).
