I don't have Chromium, but I do have Google Chrome installed. ii google-chrome-stable 118.0.5993.88-1 amd64 The web browser from Google Whatever issue you're seeing, I'm not able to reproduce it. If I run a service on localhost port 80, and then paste http://localhost:80 into the URL bar in Chrome (copied directly from your email), it connects to the localhost service. unicorn:~$ sudo tcpserver -v 0 80 /usr/bin/printf 'hello world\r\n' tcpserver: status: 0/40 tcpserver: status: 1/40 tcpserver: pid 473439 from 127.0.0.1 tcpserver: ok 473439 localhost:127.0.0.1:80 localhost:127.0.0.1::45292 tcpserver: end 473439 status 0 tcpserver: status: 0/40 unicorn:~$ grep localhost /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback unicorn:~$ grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns There's no conspiracy here. There's no "every few years Debian changes something and I have to scramble to fix it". This stuff just works, Gene. For everybody except you.
