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/
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.
