Unable to resolve localhost

[Alarig Le Lay]

Hi,

The daily spamassasin cron is failing because localhost is an
unresolvable name:

        /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
        unresolvable name: localhost at /usr/bin/sa-update line 432.
        sa-update failed for unknown reasons

But, I can perfectly ping it (and by the way, resolve it):

        alarig@nemee:~$ ping localhost 
        PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
        64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.029 ms
        ^C
        --- localhost ping statistics ---
        1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
        rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.029/0.029/0.029/0.000 ms

Does anybody already met the issue or know how to fix it?

Thanks,
