Wrong IP address in Debian box templates

[stucki]

I was trying to run a Debian Squeeze box created using the included tasks, but it fails during setup of the machine:

➜  $ git:(master) ✗ vagrant up test --provider=lxc
Bringing machine 'test' up with 'lxc' provider...
[test] Importing base box 'debian-6-amd64'...
[test] Setting up mount entries for shared folders...
[test] -- /vagrant
...
[test] Setting hostname...
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

hostname --fqdn > /etc/mailname

After doing some research on the issue, I found out that Vagrant expects any alias for localhost to use 127.0.1.1 not 127.0.0.1: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/master/plugins/guests/debian/cap/change_host_name.rb

For more details, take a look at the Debian manual: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_the_hostname_resolution

@stucki just checking, is your host a Debian machine as well? If not, you might be want to have a look at this Vagrant PR: hashicorp/vagrant#1685. I remember having trouble setting up Debian containers from my Ubuntu host because of that.

Well, I think I have the solution ready. Just finishing the pull request, hold on for a minute... :-)

Btw. regarding hashicorp/vagrant#1685: I already applied that fix locally.

... and btw. my host machine is running Ubuntu 13.04. Shouldn't make a difference though.

@stucki if you have the patch applied it doesnt, let's continue the discussion from the PR ;-)
