I've been hit by this problem as well, but for the pread64 syscall. It's working for me now after playing with my apt conf, getting the bug fix and then reverting my apt conf, but thought it was worth mentioning anyway.
I'm on a system with nfs/autofs home directories and nis for logins, which I bet is the contributing factor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732030 Title: 'apt update' dies with seccomp error Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: $ apt-get update 0% [Working] **** Seccomp prevented execution of syscall 0000000078 on architecture amd64 **** Reading package lists...
