After yesterday's update (output from pacman / packer below), ping [hostname] returns "Name or service not known".
(I realized this because I have a java application that calls java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost()).
The hostname is set in /etc/hostname and reported correctly by hostnamectl status under "Static hostname".
Connection to the Internet (browser, email) works fine. My network and host names configuration have not changed in months.
I have solved the problem by adding my hostname to the first line in /etc/hosts, from
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhostto
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost hostnameSo my questions are mostly to help others who might run into the same issue, and out of curiosity:
- what change in yesterday's upgrade could have caused this?
- is the solution I applied correct?
Thank you!

- what change in yesterday's upgrade could have caused this?
Probably this one: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … 2733f9c67a
Someone else notes a change for `hostname -i` (in the first of the bug reports said to be fixed by this change).
- is the solution I applied correct?
There's nothing wrong with it (in fact, this used to be a standard configuration step), except that now you need to change two files if you ever want to change your hostname.

Thank you!
