[Bug 1571633] [NEW] libnss-myhostname is missing

[Doug Neal]

Public bug reported:

The libnss-myhostname package, and its corresponding entry in
/etc/nsswitch.conf, has been removed between Trusty and Xenial.

This causes the command "hostname -f" to fail:

ubuntu at ubuntu-xenial:~$ hostname -f
hostname: Name or service not known

This can trip up automated provisioning that calls "hostname -f" early
on and fails on a nonzero exit code (e.g., Vagrant does this).

** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
