yes, indeed :)

But does it mean, I have to install bind to use mariadb-server? I would
prefer to not install it ... ;)

Well, in my /etc/networks I have the line
<quote>
loopback        127.0.0.0
</quote>
. But if I use the address, the router has assigned to my Desktop PC
(192.168.X.YYY ... ;) ), it works :) Then I can use "apt-get -f install"
to fix the installation. But still wondering, if this could not be fixed
(say: a pre-install script, which checks the system for a working
network and/or which IP address is assigned to the machine or the like
... ;) ), so lusers do not have to do "bad hacks" to install their
mariadb-server package ... ;)
Thanks again for your help and have a nice day
Thomas.
