Title:
  [network-admin] adding a domain breaks local lookup of the hostname

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

  My hostname is "foo", my /etc/hosts contains a line which reads:
  127.0.1.1 foo

  $ hostname --fqdn
  foo

  When I now use network-admin to set my domain to "bar", the line in /etc/hosts gets changed to
  127.0.1.1 foo.bar
  but
  $ hostname --fqdn
  hostname: Unknown host
  $ sudo do_something
  sudo: unable to resolve host foo

  Since bug 32906 is fixed, sudo works again, but still prints the
  warning message.

  <persia> afflux: [...]  Whatever is setting the domain isn't also
  telling the resolver to search the domain, which is confusing, at
  best.

  
  TEST CASE:
  1. "hostname -f" prints your regular hostname
  2. add a domain using network-admin
  3. "hostname -f" fails.
