Description of problem:
I have a pure fc3 system, but there is a bug with system-config-bind
that renders it useless, bug #139985. It is fixed in rawhide but not
in updates. Therefore I tried to install the rawhide
system-config-bind, but there is a backtrace showing missing imports.
Maybe this is due to missing dependancies:

[root@chapelle named]# system-config-bind
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-bind", line 32, in ?
    from BIND import *
  File "/usr/share/system-config-bind/BIND.py", line 12, in ?
    import Lookup
  File "/usr/share/system-config-bind/Lookup.py", line 136, in ?
    localhost = Lookup()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-bind/Lookup.py", line 125, in __init__
    (name,s.addr) = s.lookup_addr(host)
TypeError: unpack non-sequence


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-bind-4.0.0-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install system-config-bind-4.0.0-1 on a fc3 system
2. run system-config-bind
3.
    

Actual Results:  A traceback

[root@chapelle named]# system-config-bind
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-bind", line 32, in ?
    from BIND import *
  File "/usr/share/system-config-bind/BIND.py", line 12, in ?
    import Lookup
  File "/usr/share/system-config-bind/Lookup.py", line 136, in ?
    localhost = Lookup()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-bind/Lookup.py", line 125, in __init__
    (name,s.addr) = s.lookup_addr(host)
TypeError: unpack non-sequence


Additional info:

I flagged this bug as normal although it is in rawhide only as the
system-config-bind shipped with fc3 doesn't work.

Sorry about that! This happens if your hostname (output of 'hostname'
command) is not known in DNS, or is not 'localhost' and no local
interface has an address with a DNS PTR mapping - which is a bad idea
for a nameserver, BTW.
This is now fixed in system-config-bind-4.0.0-2, which will be in 
FC4/rawhide 2005-02-02, and which can be downloaded from:
   http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/system-config-bind
The first thing you should do with the tool is click on 'Import' to
import your /etc/hosts file into the local DNS configuration.

Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
