Bug#603466: unblock: global/5.7.1-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package global
I probably wouldn't have bugged you for this one, but Julien BLACHE reports:
We're hitting this on automated installs that happen either without
network connectivity or sometimes on a DHCP LAN that isn't the destination
LAN (which will be another LAN with fixed IPs and hostnames etc) so
hostname might not always be very happy with the situation. For some
reason however, we only started bumping into this issue a few days ago
after a few weeks of working on our Squeeze-based version. Maybe something
has changed somewhere recently.
It seems that ipython has added it as a dep, which means more people might
hit it now than for the case bremner originally reported -- so this and
the trigger fix (thanks lintian) look like final polish we should have
for squeeze. It's been 28 days in unstable, and the package it's based
on is way older than that. Thanks! (sorry it's kinda late)
