[Bug 1028268] [NEW] Bareword dns domain makes facter return incorrect info

[Brad Marshall]

Public bug reported:

If you are using a bare word dns domain (.test for example), facter fqdn
returns the incorrect information.  Since there's no . in the domain,
the checks fall back to parsing /etc/resolv.conf, which may not be
correct.

$ hostname
eagle
$ dnsdomainname 
test
$ facter fqdn
eagle.example.com

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
search example.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1

If I edit resolv.conf to include domain test or include it as the first
entry in search, facter returns the right value:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
domain test
search example.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1

$ facter fqdn
eagle.test

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
search test example.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1

$ facter fqdn
eagle.test

The version of facter I tested this on is:

$ dpkg-query -W facter
facter	1.6.5-1ubuntu1

And this is running on precise:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:	12.04

Please let us know if you need any more information.
