The machine record exists in moira under the name
"localhost.localdomain". I don't know of any moira bugs that would
cause this. (I know that moira will use the workstations idea of the
local domain when creating hosts, but that's clearly not what happened
here, since this was an update to an existing host.) I think this is
most likely due to a typo of some sort, and not an actual bug. There
was also some weird issues in the logs WRT the case of the hostname,
which I suspect were due to using a double-quoted lower-case hostname
in the moira client, but that is just speculation.
You should be able to solve the problem but updating
localhost.localdomain to have a more useful name.
