(Get the code!)
I can confirm the bug being present in dapper. Nevertheless the fix Vincent proposed is not enough.
In fact, /etc/hosts has two diferent layouts depending on the computer is being connected to a network or not.
Case 1: No network. Should read only 1 line:
127.0.0.1 localhost.
Case 2: Network. Should read 2 lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost.
x.x.x.x myhostname
where x.x.x.x is the ip assigned to the interface.
In fact, dhclient3 should be responsible of updating /etc/hosts every time a new lease is acquired over the default network interface.
