Please read the NEWS file, it's what it exists for and it would have
told you how to revert the seccomp change. Do not run unstable without
apt-listchanges.

Please get a coredump and run gdb on it to figure out which syscall failed.
With systemd-coredump, it's just a matter of running coredumpctl gdb after
running a failed apt update.

Any special libnss modules installed?
