`hostname --fqdn` output, please.
(In reply to comment #1) # hostname --fqdn hostname: Host name lookup failure According to the Installation Guide I set a custom hostname in /etc/conf.d/hostname. If I set my hostname to "localhost": # hostname localhost # hostname --fqdn localhost Is this behaviour expected? Shall I try to emerge perl with hostname set to "localhost"?
You need a valid hostname. If you need support, then see http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/support.xml, bugzilla is not a proper place for this.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 141475 ***
(In reply to comment #3) > You need a valid hostname. OK. Then this is a "bug" in the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#book_part1_chap8 since even man hostname gives me no clue what a valid hostname may look like. But don't worry I will figuere it out. > If you need support, then see > http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/support.xml, bugzilla is not a proper place for > this. That's understood. I already tried to solve this issue there without success: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum-f-8.html Thanks for your help.
