It would be interesting that this information was added to the hosts file. I discovered a "segmentation fault" in the package prelude-lml due to lack of such information in the hosts file, maybe this error can occur in other packages. Adding this information during the installation process would avoid this kind of problem. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: add the hostname and domain in "/etc/hosts" file. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
