Does anyone know what creates the /etc/hosts file? This file is created by the installation software when you configure the network. This is why dpkg doesn't know about it. If no network configuration is made, or you answer no to the first question, the file is never created. The solution is your favorite editor.

Where is /etc/hosts in Debian?
Hi, I can't find a /etc/hosts file in the Debian distribution. When I go dpkg --search etc/hosts it doesn't find it. Does Debian have this file? The lack of it has cause problems for a friend. He wrote: Whenever I have PCMCIA cards running on my (Toshiba) laptop it is impossible to open emacs from the console (rather than in an X environment). Emacs just hangs and the only way to stop it is to kill the process from another virtual console. Recently, after using my modem, and then removing the modem card I tried to run emacs and received teh following message: eth0:trigger-send() called with the transmitter busy. Why should emacs interact in this way with (presumably) the card manager and how do I overcome the problem. He has managed to fix the problem with a hosts file. So I am wondering why Debian doesn't install a hosts file as part of the network setup. Anyone know?

Re: Where is /etc/hosts in Debian?

If it doesn't exist just create it. Surprisingly it didn't show up when I did a 'dpkg -S hosts' either... I suspect that one of the config files makes it when you install. Adam.
