Package: smartlist
Status: install ok half-configured
Priority: optional
Section: mail
Maintainer: Christoph Lameter <[email-masked]>

Description: Versatile and Fast List Processor

Setting up smartlist (3.10-1) ...
hostname: illegal option -- q
Usage: hostname [-v] {hostname|-F file}      set host name (from file)
	domainname [-v] {nisdomain|-F file}   set NIS domain name (from file)
	hostname [-v] [-d|-f|-s|-a|-i|-y]     display formated name
	hostname [-v]                         display host name
	hostname -V|--version|-h|--help       print info and exit
    dnsdomainname=hostname -d, {yp,nis,}domainname=hostname -y
    -s, --short           short host name
    -a, --alias           alias names
    -i, --ip-address      addresses for the host name
    -f, --fqdn, --long    long host name (FQDN)
    -d, --domain          DNS domain name
    -y, --yp, --nis       NIS/YP domain name
    -F, --file            read host name or NIS domain name from given File
   This comand can get or set the host name or the NIS domain name. You can
   also get the DNS domain or the FQDN (fully qualified domain name).
   Unless you are using bind or NIS for host lookups you can change the
   FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) and the DNS domain name (which is
   part of the FQDN) in the /etc/hosts file.

Dont know what kind of "hostname" tool you got installed on your machine.
It works on my Debian 1.1 system.
