Bug Description

Binary package hint: apache2

I did not have my full machine name in /etc/hosts, so during install the apache2 install process reported that it "could not reliably determine the machine's host name" and hung at that point in the install. I had to ctrl-c to stop that package. I then put my machine's *full* dns name (with domain) in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and re-ran that package and it worked fine

I have an internal DNS system running so my full hostname had to have ".int" appended as the TLD part of the name.

I don't have access to my laptop right at this moment, but I can describe my network setup and I do remember the contents of those files.

I am running bind on my OpenBSD server that also does DNS for my internal network (with a ".int" TLD). When I installed Ubuntu it asked for a machine name, so I gave my laptop the name "debussy". When I went to install apache as described above, it could not resolve "debussy" so I changed the files as shown below which allowed the second attempt at installation to succeed:

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 debussy.int debussy

/etc/hostname

debussy.int
