According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1674776

The cause might be the fix of CVE-2016-3706: getaddrinfo: stack overflow in hostent conversion.

Bug 1674532:
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.

For people like me that happened to stumble on this:

Checking my apt logs the following packages were updated at that time:

- libxml2
- libc-bin

This happened on an ubuntu 16.04 server with php7.

sorry, but i don't get how ideas like "oh, my distribution updated libc and something broke, i will report a bug on the victims upstream bugtracker" are growing

@rhsoft: It would be much appreciated if you could tone down your comments a bit. They are commonly passive aggressive, sometimes downright rude and contribute to a somewhat unpleasant atmosphere on this bug tracker.
