have you ipv6 enabled? If you comment of the ipv6 definitions in the
hosts file is it still wrong?
We found some issues on recent ubuntu because lmgrd does not understand
the hosts file correctly. lmgrd seems to have an order problem. It
expects localhost definitions on top of the file and if networkmanager
inserts its address on top of localhost any definition below the new
line is ignored.
We had to set the hosts file immutable to get that solved.
