Hi,
 could you give some information about the environment or cloud that you're running this in?
 Something told cloud-init that your hostname was 'myhostname', and cloud-init set the system's hostname to that value. 'sudo' is merely complaining that it cannot resolve 'myhostname'.

 This is configurable, see the documentation in doc/examples/cloud-config.txt [1]. The default behavior assumes that your "datasource" (which gave cloud-init the value of 'myhostname') will also provide for resolving that value (and thus you would not see the error).
