Unable to resolve addresses only with some tools

["Pascal Giard" <evilynux@gmail.com>]

Did something broke in latest update?

I'm unable to resolve addresses with some e.g. gaim, xchat, apt-get.
I'm able to resolve addresses with others e.g. ping, firefox, amule,
mail-notification.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure what happened and how to fix it.
Having a broken apt-get is somewhat of a painful constraint.

thanks for any tips or help you can provide,

-Pascal
