#174436 — WINS - name resolution error

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,
starting from 2016-11-07 whit the daily upgrade (detail attached) I
spot these errors:

~$ ping google.com
ping: debian.com: Errore di sistema # literally "System error"

and, in the attempt to download email:

mpop: cannot locate host pop.*.com: File o directory non esistente #
file or directory not found


These errors seems to be related to wins, a workaround I found is to
remove or move back "wins" in /etc/nsswitch.conf, form:

hosts:          files wins dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=continue] mdns4

to

hosts:          files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=continue] wins mdns4

I have tired, without success, to edit STATUS>ACTION field as follow:

hosts:          files wins [UNAVAIL=continue] dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=continue] mdns4


I would open a bug report but cannot figure out who is the culprit, it must be among the upgraded
packages, among these I suspect libwbclient0, I've done some tests
whit strace and ldd, but I'm not sure. 

Regards

Hello,

Why did you use WINS instead DNS ?

Are you inside a WINS network ?

Thanks
