Hi Iain, you are fully right. There is only one piece of the puzzle that does not fit: when running postfix autopkgtests triggered by postfix itself, myhostname is set to 'localhost', which makes postfix happy. See for example
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/postfix/mantic/amd64 The trailing dot is only present when postfix is installed as a dependency. I still can't figure out why this difference (maybe there's an extra reboot in some cases?). ** Changed in: auto-package-testing Assignee: (unassigned) => Paride Legovini (paride) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical's Ubuntu QA, which is subscribed to Auto Package Testing. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019195 Title: Domain name for autopkgtests ending with dot ('.') Status in Auto Package Testing: New Bug description: I have been looking at https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-mantic/mantic/amd64/f/fwlogwatch/20230502_145023_da50b@/log.gz where the installation of postfix fails in the autopkgtest environment. The hostname passed to the test is "adt-mantic- amd64-fwlogwatch-20230502-143927-lrg-root5". After concatenating with the domain in postfix function check_myhostname() the hostname becomes "adt-mantic- amd64-fwlogwatch-20230502-143927-lrg-root5.openstack.prodstack5.lan." which terminates with a dot. Later function valid_hostname() detects that this is invalid. As the problem does not occur in a local autopkgtest I assume this is due to some issue with the openstack configuration.
