[tux]

@Blaine Fleming - ah, thanks!
For anyone else in a panic, here's what I did. 

   # /etc/init.d/nscd stop
   # sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-security-proposed/ppa
   # aptitude update
   # aptitude safe-upgrade

and you shoudl see updates from the new ppa:

   ...
   The following packages will be upgraded:
     libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i386 nscd 
   6 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
   Need to get 12.2MB of archives. After unpacking 4,096B will be used.
   Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y
   Writing extended state information... Done
   ...

Bug description:
  After taking security updates to 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.14 on Lucid, calls to
  getservbyname() are causing segfaults; backtrace attached.  I suspect
  a failure in debian/patches/any/CVE-2013-4357.diff

  nscd is installed and in use as a caching layer for openldap, which
  use used for passwd, group, and shadow but not services.

  Needless to say, a security update that causes a regression which
  makes 'apt-get' segfault is quite unfortunate.
