Because the system getnameinfo() function cannot resolve "localhost"
to "::1".

    # cat /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1   localhost
    ::1     localhost [other names omitted]

You have two lines with "localhost" and by default many Linux
distributions allow only one line per hostname. This is wrong
because it prevents some programs from using the ::1 address.

Search for "linux host.conf multi on". Then complain to your
distribution provider.
