Problem on mouse pointer freezing
Hi folks,
Virtual Machine - VServer
Host - Debian Etch - with full X packages installed including Gnome desktop
Guest - Debian Etch, basic OS for installing headless mail server
Package - clamav-freshclam
It was discovered that after installing the captioned package mouse pointer freezed on the Host. Because there is no X installed on the Guest I have no idea whether it has influence on the Guest.
On removing the package
$ sudo apt-get --purge remove clamav-freshclam Code:

addgroup: Starting amavisd: head: cannot open `/etc/mailname' for reading: No such file or directory
hostname: Unknown host
The value of variable $myhostname is "", but should have been
a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
in amavisd.conf, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name!

dpkg: error processing amavisd-new (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
amavisd-new
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any advice to fix the problem. TIA
