Dear Maintainer,

Dear Maintainer,

Test testLibKetamaWeightedCompatLibmemcached expects a reverse lookup on
127.0.0.1 to be localhost. In the case the first entry of /etc/hosts
matches a different hostname than localhost, the package will FTBFS.

Overall, this package will always fail to build if the host building it
has a different entry in /etc/hosts. Is this really required to test
the package? Seems to be adding an unreasonable constraint to the
building host.

Regards,
Ariel D'Alessandro
