Bug #10704: puppet's idea of /etc/hosts management does not match real world use
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10704
Author: Bil Tong

Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6

Here is a valid extract from an /etc/hosts files on a RHEL box:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6
localhost6.localdomain6
Here is the code to make puppet add these entries:
host { 'localhost':
ip => '127.0.0.1',
host_aliases => [ 'localhost.localdomain',
'localhost4', 'localhost4.localdomain4', ],
}
host { 'localhost':
ip => '::1',
host_aliases => [ 'localhost.localdomain',
'localhost6', 'localhost6.localdomain6', ],
}
Notice the "localhost" part is the same in both cases. This causes a problem:
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Duplicate definition: Host[localhost] is already defined in file
