Hi, this is a topic for the debian-user mailing list, not debian-www, but 
I'll answer anyway.

To fix this you need to download the "hostname" package from
http://packages.debian.org/hostname
Be sure to select the right version depending on what version of Debian you 
are running.

Download the .deb file, then open a command shell and use this command to 
reinstall the package:
dpkg -i hostname_*.deb

...And do I need to mention one of the basic rules when working with Linux?
*Don't work as root unless you really really have to!* :-)

Cheers,

  Richard
