[Aptitude-devel] Bug#815554: aptitude: truncated hostname in header line (regression)

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.6-1
Severity: minor

When I run aptitude, I get the following header line:

aptitude 0.7.6 @ cven

on my machine cventin, i.e. the hostname is truncated. If I downgrade
to 0.7.5-3, I get the full hostname as expected.
