When I updated from F-11 to Rawhide, I started having serious and
severe
DNS failures. Enabling the nscd service seems to temporarily resolve
these issues, but eventually nscd seems to die and DNS stops working.
Some applications (e.g. chromium) don't seem to be suffering this fate,
while others (e.g. firefox, thunderbird, yum) do.
I'm pretty sure that glibc is to blame here, but I'm not even sure how
to appropriately file this bug. Is anyone else seeing this?
Almost the same symptoms here with a broken nss-mdns package from
updates-testing in F10-x86_64 (0.10-6).
Can't sadly reproduce it in rawhide right now, since i was able to
break it somehow :)
