[Bug 611226] Re: Dovecot-common Install Error

[Ian Barton]

Antonio,

It is a DNS error. Let me explain what I have done. I am using a pre-
built xen image from http://stacklet.com/

Download stacklet for Ubuntu lucid X64. Create a xen instance using the
image and login:


root at ubuntu:~# hostname
ubuntu
root at ubuntu:~# hostname -f
ubuntu.bantercat.co.uk

OK so that works as expected.

Now do a apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, which installs a new
EC2 kernel.

root at ubuntu:~# hostname
ubuntu
root at ubuntu:~# hostname -f
hostname: Name or service not known
root at ubuntu:~#

In /etc/hostname I have just ubuntu. This happens using either DHCP, or
a static IP. I am running bind9 on one of my servers and I am pretty
confident that my DNS is OK. Note that hostname -f works fine on all
other computers in my network.

So it looks as though it's something to do with the kernel which is:

root at ubuntu:~# uname -r
2.6.32-305-ec2

Ian.
