One way to avoid this error is to add a line in /etc/hosts for your
hostname, pointing to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 or your static IP address if
any. Some parts of the system depend on knowing how to contact itself via
the network, even if that network is only the 1 machine.
For example:
0.0.0.0 foobar.nowhere.com foobar
