Package: hostname
Version: 2.93
Severity: normal

When attempting to use "hostname -f" or "hostname --fqdn" to determine the fully
qualified domain name of the system, it returns:

   hostname: Unknown host

This same syntax worked as expected in the hostname package in Debian Sarge.

This causes problems with the amavisd-new package, because it has a line in one
of its configuration files as follows:

   chomp($myhostname = `hostname --fqdn`);
