So far as I can see, this would seem to indicate that you've hosed
your local system somehow. Once you figure out why 'hostname --fqdn'
fails the way it does there the reason for that should be clearer,
but it seems unlikely that it will be in this package. Once you fix
that it should install fine.
Sorry,
Ron
