Right, so the loopback interface does not have any IP address at all / it is not up.
But then I have not the faintest idea, why ... :(
I think this is an error, at least I've never before heard of a system with no loopback address ?
Maybe because I have purged all exim, at and other server related stuff (+ its dependencies) after my Debian installation as usual ;? But I never stumbled upon any problem until now ... ;) And I can ping either 127.0.0.1 or localhost without any problem (I am trying to find out, what I should/could change via http://tldp.org/LDP/nag2/x-087-2-iface.interface.html ... ;) ).
