AFAICT you do not have a problem here. The database started up fine.
If you don't like the chatter in the log, fix your name resolution setup
(/etc/hosts or DNS) so that it doesn't return a non-working translation
of "localhost". It looks to me like it probably returns both IPv6 and
IPv4 translations when the kernel will only take one of them.
