[Tickets] Error in system/hostname.i

In the file system/hostname.i, there is the line
/bin/rm /etc/env.d/01hostname 2>&1 >/dev/null

It seems like the script tries to suppress the output of rm. But it does not
work, and the output appears on the screen, like this:

system/hostname : /bin/rm: cannot remove `/etc/env.d/01hostname': No such
file or
system/hostname : directory

According to the site http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html,
the correct syntax to suppress the output of rm would be

/bin/rm /etc/env.d/01hostname &> /dev/null

This works.
