But regardless of how I ran into this problem in general it doesn't seem good for logcheck to place a requirement that the host's hostname be registered in dns. A thin client wouldn't have this in every configuration. It just isn't needed and therefore shouldn't be a dependency. And in the case that it were a dependency then it shouldn't produce an error so much as it should detect and report the dependency failure. But it isn't needed as a dependency. Logcheck otherwise works fine without the hostname registered in DNS.
Sorry, but I don't see the problem. As far as I understand a properly configured /etc/hosts file should be enough for a correct working 'hostname --fqdn' command.
Please try to describe your problem in a few words. What behavior do you expect and what behavior do you see?
