Warning message printed before executing the screenfetch command (67.18 KB, image/png)

Description Sébastien Morin 2018-10-05 06:51:03 CEST
Description of problem:
On Mageia Cauldron, using commands such as "urpmi <package_name>" to install a package, or start updates, prints the following warning message:

/etc/host.conf : ligne 3 : commande erronée« nospoof on »
/etc/host.conf : ligne 4 : commande erronée« spoofalert on »

Then, urpmi (or any program you are using in CLI) will go on with its job, and complete the job without any problem.
This warning message doesn't seem to have any consequence, and the system is running as expected. 


How reproducible:
I don't usually use a great deal of commands, but this warning message is printed everytime I run urpmi, and even when I run screenfetch for instance.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia6 from Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD.iso in a Virtualbox machine.
2. Migrate to Cauldron following https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Cauldron#How_to_update_to_Mageia_Cauldron
3. After the upgrade is finished, experiment using urpmi to install any software and see the warning message concerning "bad commands" in /etc/host.conf
