[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
The manpage for hostid explicitely references coreutils.info but there the
part about hostid seems to have been removed somewhen in the past. As there
is no mentioning of a removal in ChangeLog I created the attached patch that
readds the documentation for hostid and hostname that I took from the
5.93 coreutils.texi .

Actually coreutils.info included in coreutils 8.10 has the documentation but
not coreutils.texi.

The hostid info is present in git.
Perhaps it was removed by a local patch or something.
I'm closing this bug for the moment.

cheers,

Yes, you are right and this is bogus. We have a patch that removes the
hostname documentation as openSUSE/SLES uses the one from util-linux. That
patch also removed the hostid documentation. Fixing that patch brought me
back the hostid documentation. Sorry for the noise.
