Package: libnss-myhostname:amd64 Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 204 Maintainer: Debian systemd Maintainers <pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> [Debian Bug Report] Architecture: amd64 Multi-Arch: same Source: systemd Version: 252.23-1~deb12u1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34) Description: nss module providing fallback resolution for the current hostname This package contains a plugin for the Name Service Switch, providing host name resolution for the locally configured system hostname as returned by gethostname(2). It returns all locally configured public IP addresses or -- if none are configured, the IPv4 address 127.0.1.1 (which is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the local host). A lot of software relies on that the local host name is resolvable. This package provides an alternative to the fragile and error-prone manual editing of /etc/hosts. Installing this package automatically adds myhostname to /etc/nsswitch.conf.
