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.
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
This is no longer used in current version of gettext, getaddrinfo() is the preferred function for hostname resolution.
Similar issue fixed in upstream gettext: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63983 Commit details of changes done at upstream gettext to replace deprecated gethostbyname with getaddrinfo : https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=commitdiff;h=c5cdf41d436261b279c172753ac727335d44b9fd
I still think it would be useful to change that centos-stream rpminspect doesn't complain any more about the network functions, just to be sure.
Sorry, s/change/check/
