It is a brand new sarge installation - I haven't tweaked anything.
So...everyone will get this error in the first place if he/she doesn't
configure anything manually, right?

At least the installation script should perform a 'hostname -f' or something
to avoid this kind of errors and to enable visible_hostname by itself.

So I think it is a grave bug.
