segfault in DNS resolution with libc6-udeb_2.19-0ubuntu6.7_i386.udeb

Bug Description

When using the latest updates to Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit, the following error occurs during installtion:

wget[6261]: segfault at b77b4d9d ip b73bda0d sp bfde2a40 error 7 in libresolv-2.19.so[b73b4000+13000]

This happens after downloading libc6-udeb (libc6-udeb_2.19-0ubuntu6.7_i386.udeb) during the installation - after downloading this, future name resolutions fail (attempting to ping a DNS name gives a similar segfault)

I would guess this is likely due to a fix for the recent security vulnerability in glibc DNS resolution.

64-bit appears to be unaffected at present.

64-bit is also affected.

Also, #1546459 is related?
