Doesn't the existing entry cover this: *** Emacs does not know your host's fully-qualified domain name. You need to configure your machine with a fully qualified domain name, either in /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, the NIS, or wherever your system calls for specifying this. It seems to be about this situation, but it may be hard to recognize that this relates. It would be easier to recognize that if it stated more concretely what the problem is -- that (system-name) returns something like "localhost".
