Comment 32 for bug 1585614

Blinker (and anyone else), I have eglibc/glibc packages available in the ubuntu-security-proposed ppa https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa that revert the problematic fix that added references from the libm library to the new symbols, while keeping the added __strtol*_nan symbols in libc (so as not to break people who have already updated to the pulled packages). It'd be useful to know if this also addresses the cron/Plesk issue as well.

I've reproduced apache failing to soft restart after updating to the broken libc packages, and have verified that updating to the packages in the security-proposed ppa, a currently running apache2 will soft restart successfully when the upgrade is performed from both the restored packages and from the broken packages. But verification from others is appreciated as well.

(Note that the security-proposed ppa often gets packages for testing, so it's best not to leave it enabled after testing these specific libc packages.)

Thanks for your patience, and again, my apologies.
