I am able to perform dns lookups on a P+T box with -74 (and the OR has separatly confirmed -74 as affected), so this appears to not be systemic:

I started debugging this problem and found out that, problem resolve when I boot back 3.13.0-68 kernel version (without touching any system files or packages). When I boot 3.13.0-71 Kopete always does not connect. Next I debugged that problem on 3.13.0-71 is just when /etc/resolv.conf contains only IPv6 addresses of DNS servers. Problem is comes down to dns resolver (jabber in Kopete has its own for SRV records) and syscall recvfrom() (on IPv6 socket) always return error -EAGAIN without any data returned. But wireshark see that DNS response was recevied. So it looks like that after 3.13.0-68 kernel was included some change which broke receiving UDP packets via IPv6 socket. IPv4 is OK.
