Can't install plesk, please help!

This part of the output is your problem:

Setting it to localhost.localdomain

Please specify the host name in the /etc/hosts file

ERROR while trying to check the hostname

Make sure your hostname is set up correctly and that it can be resolved, before starting the installation.
 
Hi,

see http://kb.odin.com/en/1137 for more details on this issue.
I believe you will need to correct hostname or use workaround from this article and then rerun installation by either manually reinstalling Plesk packages or running 'apt get -f install' (but behavior of this command can be different depending on state of other packages in system so reinstalling packages manually is better option).
