rpi5 and 4, standard Debian clone OS

1) The 5, pi5.slsware.lan, keeps sending me email saying,

"*** SECURITY information for pi5 ***"

and

"pi5 : Mar 4 15:40:14 : root : unable to resolve host pi5: Name or service not known"

I have no idea why it's complaining or what's bent.


2) On both the 4 and 5, 'needrestart' says I'm running on an old kernel and tells me that a reboot will start the newer version. But it's just kidding -- I reboot and I get the same message again. The 4's been doing that for a long time, and I've just
let it keep running the old kernel because I'm afraid I might break something if I try to delete the old kernel. But I just got the 5 a few days ago, it's doing the same thing, and I'd like to get this dealt with.

IIRC (I'm 81, and that's no longer a given), I never saw this with the rpi2s or 3s or the real Debian boxen.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated...

So, "pi5" appears to be your hostname.

"pi5 : Mar 4 15:40:14 : root : unable to resolve host pi5: Name or service not known"

It can't resolve its own hostname. You're probably missing a line in
your /etc/hosts file.

Yup.

Oh! It wants the IP! You're right -- pi5 isn't in there. Thanks.

Here's what one looks like for a host named 'raptor' after the Intel ISA:

Yeah, I put it in there when I understood what it was looking for. When I went to computer school, there was no Internet or IP anything, so I didn't know that "resolve" meant "what's your IP address" (I hit vi real quick to add an IP to hosts --
everybody seems to be happy with their resolution now).

Any thoughts on my kernel replacement notice problem?

I've never seen that either and have 2 RPI4bs running Devuan daedalus on this one,
Rasbian bookworm on the other.

I assume you ran apt update & apt upgrade before reboot.

One thing I have noticed is that reboot and 'shutdown -h now'
then toggling the power, don't always give the same results.
