Indeed.
This seems to depend on the terminal width. The amount of characters
of the hostname shown changes when I resize the terminal, aptitude
runs in.
I had to do some changes to the size due to #810221 -- the fields Broken
and Download size are more important than host for most people, I guess.
Some people like the hostname being there, but I am still wondering if
it was an error to honour that request and enable it by default, because
we have had 2 reports because of it in a short time.
Due to the rules of creating columns in aptitude/cwidget, this is a bit
of a mess (it needs to reserve space beforehand even if the line appears
empty). In any case, something has to give, and it's impossible to
support largish hostnames in 80-width characters anyway.
I haven't tried, but this should be able to be worked around by setting
Aptitude::UI::Package-Header-Format, and establishing a given width for
the hostname field.
Cheers.
