Description Jens Petersen 2023-04-03 03:58:41 UTC
Description of problem:
gettext includes its own hostname helper program
(presumably for systems that do not provide the hostname tool)
which uses deprecated gethostbyname() function...

If /usr/bin/hostname is a drop in replacement then it seems
better just to use that in place of it - this would avoid
the rpminspect warnings/errors about gethostbyname() usage.
