Public bug reported:
After upgrading to karmic today with 'update-manager -d', my /etc/hosts
file was mangled.
Before the upgrade (yay backups) it said:
----------
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ged.localnet ged
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
----------
After the upgrade, it said:
-----------
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs# that require network
functionality will fail.127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
-----------
I don't know what launchpad does with word wrapping, so to be explicit:
it contained no newlines, even at the end of the file. It was one long
comment line. Also, I don't know if the IPv6 boilerplate and localnet
boilerplate is desireable, but it wasn't even trying to be there.
This may or may not be related to #432888.
