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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to eglibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585614 Title: libc on 2016-05-25 causes Apache not to restart, libm.so.6: symbol __strtold_nan, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: This morning I applied the following updates to Ubuntu 12.04 webservers: The following packages are currently pending an upgrade: apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 apt-transport-https 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 apt-utils 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 libapt-inst1.4 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 libapt-pkg4.12 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 php5-cli 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-common 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-curl 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-dev 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-gd 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-mysql 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php-pear 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 Apache fails to restart, siting error: apache2: Syntax error on line 212 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libm.so.6: symbol __strtold_nan, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Into file /var/log/apache2/error.log Looks like I am trying to roll back all those php packages...
