Description of problem: The installation tool writes an wrong entry to /etc/nsswitch.conf which prevents correct name resolution in an intranet: hosts: files msdns4_minimal [notfound=return] dns How reproducible: It is reproducible on every installation or upgrade process. Actual results in /etc/nsswitch.conf: hosts: files msdns4_minmal [notfound=return] dns Expected results in /etc/nsswitch.conf: Either: hosts: files msdns4_minmal dns Or the really better version: hosts: files dns Additional info: The entry msdns4_minimal is absolutely useless and for Fedora newby a great trap because the domain name resulotion is preventing from working correctly.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The bug isn't relevant anymore because I switched to FreeBSD
