[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#682376: facter: ignores domain in /etc/hosts, uses only 'search' or 'domain' from /etc/resolv.conf

[Andrei POPESCU]

Package: facter
Version: 1.6.10-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I have the following situation:

/etc/hostname: myhostname
/etc/hosts: 192.168.1.123   myhostname.mydomain     myhostname
/etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.1.1 # and nothing else

and facter doesn't return any fqdn (which instead affects puppet). I can 
get facter to return the fqdn if I specify 'search mydomain' or 'domain 
mydomain' in /etc/resolv.conf.

1.5.7 from stable doesn't do this. My web searches seem to suggest this 
has been fixed upstream in versions previous to 1.6.10, or am I missing 
something?

Kind regards,
Andrei
