[Bug 611226] Re: Dovecot-common Install Error
I also had this issue. I saw a good number of questions but no answers so I am linking to my resolution in the forum. http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9839614#post9839614 It may not be a bug but hostname -f is definitely picker in 10.04 than it was in 9.10. I duplicated the same config in both (via a script using the official cononical EC2 AMIs for each) and the simple setup works in 9.10 and not in 10.04. editing /etc/hosts and /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf gets me to a working solution in 10.04. -- Dovecot-common Install Error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/611226 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Antonio, Thanks for the feedback. Attached is the information you requested. The computer has a static ip address of 192.168.0.30. It has bind9 installed, which is configured the same as my primary DNS server, which it will eventually replace. The computer 192.168.0.32 is my secondary DNS. As far as I can tell bind is working correctly.

[Bug 611226] Re: Dovecot-common Install Error
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: r...@ubuntu:~# hostname ubuntu r...@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. r...@ubuntu:~# hostname ubuntu r...@ubuntu:~# hostname -f hostname: Name or service not known r...@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: r...@ubuntu:~# uname -r 2.6.32-305-ec2 Ian. -- Dovecot-common Install Error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/611226 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 611226] Re: Dovecot-common Install Error
This is evolving to a subject better discussed at the forums by the way,
as this seems to be a misconfiguration in the stacklet.
The hostname is kept by the kernel in /proc/sys/kernel/hostname. In your
case, it is ubuntu.
What hostname -f does, is the equivalent of running
getent hosts `hostname` | awk '{print $2}'
on the command line. If that command doesn't work, hostname -f won't
work either.
Please attach your /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/hosts
so I can see what's wrong with the NSS resolver on your system.
Cheers,
Antonio

[Bug 611226] Re: Dovecot-common Install Error
Hello Ian! The revealing message here is hostname: Name or service not known which means there is a DNS issue on your system. hostname -i and hostname -d should get you going on debugging this. Also take a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf. Of course the package installation shouldn't have barfed that badly, but you'll be running into trouble all the time if your mail server has DNS issues.
