I hope someone can help me figure this out:

When I enter "fink install mysql" (Or "su apt-get install mysql", for 
that matter)
the operation fails with the error:

   Sorry, the host 'Taran' could not be looked up.
   Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.

Entering "hostname" returns simply "Taran" which is the name I
set for my computer in the System Preferences.

A quick web search indicated that this might stem from differences 
between
libc and glibc, but I'm not sure what to do about it.

Can anyone tell me how I need to configure hostname?

I'm running 10.1.2
Package manager version: 0.9.4
Distribution version: 0.3.1
I'm not doing any fancy networking; just ppp to a dialup ISP.
