Public bug reported: In dovecot-common-1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6 (lucid), the postinst script for dovecot-common calls "hostname -f" which fails if the computer has a FQDN of the form example.com (instead of foo.example.com). This prevents dovecot from installing. The workaround I used was to manually install the ssl cert to avoid this part of the script.
