Do `ifconfig` and check that 'lo', the local loopback is up; I suspect it
isn't. You probably updated the 'netbase' backage, which has the loopback
device commented out for some reason. Uncomment the line
iface lo inet loopback
in /etc/network/interfaces and all should be well (you'll have to do 'ifup -a'
after that to get lo to actually come up).
