You don't need localhost here twice. Once is enough.
I thought someone would have mentioned this already (I'm coming late in
the thread), but on the off chance they haven't note that having
localhost in /etc/hosts is necessary, but not sufficient. You also need
your hostname there (or anyway, it needs to be resolvable somehow).
Run "hostname", then put that into your /etc/hosts file as well; if you
have a static IP address you can use that otherwise just add it to the
127.0.0.1 line:
127.0.0.1 localhost <hostname>
