Comment 4 for bug 196429

As a long time Linux user, I just do things out of habit. So your observations about the setup configurators are correct. There appears to be some discrepancies between the various network configuration tools. You were brave to perform all 188 updates at once! Although I have done 150 at once before with an old Dapper installation. As a result of your bug submission, it's in the stack so I expect that some of these things will be fixed. In the meantime, you know that accurate /etc/hosts file and appropriate CUPS configuration files will get most things working again. After all, the graphical configurators just add entries to these same files. Sometimes they even do it correctly.
