Description Marc Schütz 2012-10-06 10:26:08 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1

From time to time, the following note appears in /var/log/messages (probably triggered by DHCP lease renewal):

systemd-hostnam[28312]: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed. Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please install nss-myhostname!

This is of course easily solved by "zypper install nss-myhostname", but if this packaged is needed, it should probably be added as a requirement to some RPM, so that it is installed automatically.

Reproducible: Always

Ludwig, you looked at it. It's minor, but perhaps we should remove the warning if it's pointless.

Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2013-02-15 13:29:35 UTC

sr#155527

The use case for nss-myhostname is just plain bogus as is the warning. Since it was invented by the same guy as systemd I doubt he would remove the warning.
Reassigning to Frederic to decide whether to integrate the patch in our package.

Comment 3 Frederic Crozat 2013-02-15 14:06:45 UTC

I'm fine with removing the warning. Could you resend the sr, based on AJ comment ?

Thanks.
