freshclam needing DNS information makes sense, which means it must be 
configured how to access a DNS server.

On the local machine you need only DNS client funtionality,
just like every user needs for a web browser.

Forcing installation of a DNS server is not the correct solution
when the actual problem is just a configuration issue on the
machine where you were trying it.
