Why localhost is not an alias for 127.0.0.1 ?

grep localhost /etc/hosts

I've seen some weird stuff on some systems.

I have localhost/127.0.0.1 set up correctly on my machine and I see the same behavior as the OP. I'm pretty sure it is an interaction between the libpq host/hostaddr code and a .pgpass file. I suspect the OP has a .pgpass entry for localhost but not 127.0.0.1.

------ .pgpass --------------
localhost:5432:*:postgres:postgres_pwd
----------------------------

removing this file localhost behaves like 127.0.0.1

maybe that the debian installer creates this file during installation (is useful but I didn't know this file).

this explains the situation, thank you again to all
