could also fix by specifying the domain: parameter in /etc/news/inn.conf either to the hostname, FQDN or not. Is this wise though? Or should the install really just fail
I suppose in post install you could check first for
$ /usr/lib/news/bin/innconfval -C
innconfval: hostname does not resolve or domain not set in inn.conf

and if so then get hostname --fqdn and add this as the domain: parameter. This would allow installation without failure but would mean that inn.conf could contain
domain: SomeLocalName

Is that a reasonable thing to do though?
