From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 146475 ***
