<summary>recommended update for netcfg</summary>
<description>This recommended update for netcfg fixes the following issues:
- Redo the HOSTNAME -&gt; hostname migration to support smallest possible step. Thus ensuring the migration is done just once and finished:
# HOSTNAME migration supported scenarios [bnc#858908]:
# /etc/HOSTNAME -&gt; /etc/hostname content preservation.
# If hostname and HOSTNAME both exist HOSTNAME wins.
# Nothing apart from content of the document is preserved
- Solves bnc#858908 and bnc#899506 while moves bnc#887039 to unsupported scenarios.
- Remove the socket check from the defaultdomain checker as it was always false and thus not needed
- Drop the scriptlet for the netgroup handling. It was caused by the aaa_base -&gt; netcfg move</description>
