"Again, the question is what else needs to be restarted?" The answer to that is "I don't know", which is why the general recommendation here should be to just reboot. Basically, any long- running process with the older libc loaded that tries to do NSS DNS lookups will fail. This was the bug introduced in the previous update, and reverted in this, but of course, the revert will have the same effect as the original update if you upgraded and restarted with the interim libc.
Again, this sucks, but there's no sane way to both revert the ABI break and make it smooth for the people who restarted services (or the machine) with the bad update in between. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to eglibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674532 Title: glibc update caused NSS ABI break Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in eglibc source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in glibc source package in Precise: Invalid Status in eglibc source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in glibc source package in Trusty: Invalid Status in eglibc source package in Xenial: Invalid Status in glibc source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in eglibc source package in Yakkety: Invalid Status in glibc source package in Yakkety: Invalid Bug description: After installing the libc6_2.19-0ubuntu6.10_amd64_udeb package during the automated install of ubuntu 14.04.5, the system was suddenly unable to resolve hostnames via dns. Installing -0ubuntu6.9 resolved the issue. Reinstalling -ubuntu6.10 broke the system again. I note that -ubuntu6.10 was recently added to the archive. I am currently unable to install Ubuntu 14.04.5.
