[Bug 1561250] Re: Xenial vagrant image is missing its hostname in /etc/hosts

[Dan Watkins]

Hello all,

The Vagrant boxes are important to us, and we do want them to be a high-
quality Ubuntu experience.  That said, our limited resources have been
focussed on improving that experience in the images which people use in
production.  We would like to have the time to work on everything that
needs attention but, regrettably, that isn't the situation we're in.

Louis Zuckerman has very kindly taken the time to work out how the
images are built, and contributed a patch which may address this; I've
built a (yakkety) box from his changes at
http://people.canonical.com/~dwatkins/livecd.ubuntu-cpc.vagrant.box;
please test it and let me know if it resolves this issue.


Thanks,

Dan
