The packages containing "which" and "hostname" are in the base-group. We don't need to put packages in this group into the dependency line, because only installations with this group installed are being supported.

Thank you, I found it in the documentation. I didn't know that -I myself don't have the full base group installed.

Feel free to close this "bug" then.

As of 2020-12-20 neither which or hostname is in the base metapackage, making this issue valid once more.

/usr/bin/abcde: line 3776: hostname: command not found

There has been a recent effort to *remove* dependencies on legacy inetutils if it's just for `hostname` - please change abcde.conf to call `uname -n` instead (which is more portable, specified by POSIX, while hostname is not).
