wooooah horsey, whoah!
OK...
1. I could have deleted the line by myself, but I didn't because I've
never touched /etc/host.conf so far, and because it belonged to glibc, I
didn't want to stuff around with it. My system is working, even though
I get this "error" message, so I left it as is until I was sure.
2. Yes I am running an unstable system (~x86), and that includes glibc,
gcc, kernels, and every other package I have installed. I am aware that
from time to time this may cause problems, but I do it for two reasons:
a) I like to help as much as I can in detecting and reporting bugs
before they make it to x86 (or other archs), because even though I'm
employed as one, I'm not much of a programmer :P
b) I like having new features and fixes sooner rather than later.
3. Thanks for the comments, especially from Rumen quoting the einfo
lines - I only have warnings mailed to me so I missed that one.
4. I think I will file a bug - IMHO there should have been a
new /etc/host.conf, which would have then been labelled ._cfg_host.conf
(or whatever) and I would have resolved the problem myself. If it got
me worried, it's going to get a lot more people worried when it hits
x86.
