Bug#551879: libc6-i686: can no longer resolve DNS names
Package: libc6-i686
Version: 2.10.1-1
Severity: important
This is on a Debian etch system, which contains both a lenny and
a sid schroot.
I first noticed that reportbug failed in the sid system, and lynx
does too, after testing. Below is the output from the also failing
wget. I’m submitting this here because I strongly believe that DNS
has worked when I a-g d-u’d a day or two ago, when I got eglibc 2.10.

The lenny schroot on the same system outputs:
