Michael,
this is a Debian-specific problem, nothing you could solve (except
by removing hostname.7 again).

That's hidden in the message above:

^^^^
However, that package shouldn't be installed on Dario's machine at
all as it has been superseded by 'bind9'. Unfortunately it seems
to me that the's a transitional package missing that'll cause it
to be removed.
Thus, I believe the bug is in the package bind9/bind and not in
manpages. However, I could fix this by conflicting/replacing
bind with manpages. Before doing so I'll first see what LaMont
(bind9 maintainer) thinks about it.
Regards,
Joey
