[Bug 1674532] Re: glibc update caused NSS ABI break

[Jamie]

I just want to chime in here and say this bug has cost our company
thousands of dollars in lost revenue, and not to mention the unnecessary
cost of debugging time, because it broke two of the most important API
endpoints we use... Stripe for payments and the API for email delivery
with SendGrid, so customers where unable to sign up, and even if they
could, pay us.

We will be disabling automatic security updates from now on.

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.
