Hmm. The 'squid3' package should have config files at /etc/squid3/*

The 'squid' package has config files at /etc/squid/*

Is that an exact copy-paste of the output?
 Are the "..." characters really in your config file?

If yes, the problem is that somebody has mindlessly cut-n-pasted
incomplete example config line(s) into your squid.conf.

If no, then the problem is that you are hiding the broken piece of
config from us.

Either way you have something to fix.

That is the version number from the Ubuntu 16.10 or later 'squid' package.

It should be started with the command 'squid', not 'squid3' as indicated
by the above lines.
