package hostname 3.06ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package hostname is already installed and configured

[Laney Mills]

I did a full upgrade from older ubuntu and got multiple crashes, even "can't mount /" I finally ran a repair version and got lots and lots of failed to install. I've no idea what it's all about, and certainly I can't describe all the vaious crash messages. Sorry
