Description

Looks like the branch for Bug #13574 only partially fixed the problem it was about: it configures a localhost.localdomain entry in /etc/hosts late in the live-config sequence, after other live-config hooks have used sudo (and maybe other things) that attempt to resolve localhost.localdomain.

Let’s try to fix the root cause (hostname being set to localhost.localdomain) instead of papering over it.
