----
the first 4 lines of /etc/hosts should look like this and apparently,
yours doesn't...

# head -n 4 /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Fix this first
