Details

Since 0.17.2, hostname is determined using "uname -n" instead of looking for a "hostname" binary. The inetutils dependency is therefore no longer needed.

Any reason why this wasn't fixed yet? the current inetutils package forces using pam_securetty.so which breaks systemd-nspawn login (see #45903) so avoiding depending on hostname and inetutils could help in convincing TUs to get rid of this package and pam_securetty.so.

Note that hostnamectl is also set in the code as the first alternative for hostname and only if not found then uname is used.

If the maintainer of the grml package could remove this dependency, it would be a security benefit.

I removed the dependency in 0.19.0-2
