Title:
  xenial cloudimage with missing hostname on hosts

Status in hostname package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Install Vagrant / Virtualbox

  On Terminal run:

  $> vagrant init

  Edit the Vagrantfile to change the box name from "base" to
  "ubuntu/xenial64"

  Then on the terminal again do:

  $> vagrant up

  After installing do:

  $> vagrant ssh

  $> sudo su

  You will get a message stating: "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu-
  xenial"

  The reason for this message is because the entry on /etc/hostname
  (which have "ubuntu-xenial") doesn't exist on /etc/hosts

  To Fix:

  Edit the /etc/hosts:

  $> sudo vim /etc/hosts (for instance)

  And on the entry:

  127.0.0.1 localhost

  Change to:

  127.0.0.1 localhost ubuntu-xenial
