Looks to be a larger problem. Just for grins I decided to install squid
on my test laptop - the one where hostname -f works & the one that is a
pretty much stock Ubuntu Gnome 7.10 w/2.6.22.14-generic. Got the following:

$ sudo apt-get install squid
[sudo] password for <user>:

Nothing in logs other than sys.log with the "Could not determine fully
qualified hostname.  Please set 'visible_hostname'"

The laptop has a fixed IP (192.168 range), so it wouldn't be anything
related to dhcp etc.

Re-loop to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid/+bug/12709
that the author of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid/+bug/97505
referred to.

Don't know how you can pre-edit /etc/squid.conf if squid doesn't install...

Can anyone else replicate? If so, perhaps we need to revisit/refile
12709 or add on to 97505.
