“Why do I get the message
Sorry, the host ‘your_hostname_here’ could not be looked up.
Please configure the ‘hostname’ command to return a correct hostname.
There is a problem with the DNS configuration for the IP address you’re using. Often, the “forward” and “reverse” DNS entries for it do not match. This is usually a problem your network administrator or ISP has to fix.
Someone sent me this useful workaround: just type “sudo hostname 127.0.0.1”, then issue the command again.
Thanks to Marc Liyanage for finding this tip.
