Bug#970579: libvte-2.91-0: OSC 7 does not work with my hostname

[Tobias Bengfort]

Package: libvte-2.91-0
Version: 0.54.2-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

OSC 7 seems to be the preferred way to implement preserving the working
directory when opening a new tab[1]. As far as I know this has not been
properly standardized[2]. However, since this package implements both
ends of the protocol (/etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh and
vte_terminal_get_current_directory_uri) that should not be an issue.

However, it didn't work for me. I did a bit of debugging and found that
it works fine if I hardcode the hostname in /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh
to "localhost" or "". If I hardcode it to an arbitrary wrong hostname it
still works. Only the correct hostname seems to be an issue.

I temporarily changed my hostname from "2902toc" to "test" and it also
worked. So maybe libvte doesn't like my hostname?

My workaround is to hardcode the hostname in /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh
to "".
