I found a decent workaround: use the main server archive.ubuntu.com instead of the mirror. Notice how it includes only the known-good addresses; security.ubuntu.com includes a mix of good and bad hosts, and us.archive.ubuntu.com includes only the bad ones. $ dig +short archive.ubuntu.com

This affects all of the IPv6 addresses for us.archive.ubuntu.com as well (the addresses are mostly the same as security.ubuntu.com, excluding the two that actually work.) It would be less of a concern if apt automatically fell back on the IPv4 stack, but right now the only way for my machines to

The libwnck git master works perfectly. I can also confirm that specific commit (5f88636284154e76611012c8a7c7495b9d917bd7) constitues the fix: applying the diff to libwnck3_3.4.7-3.debian fixes the crash; conversely, reverting the diff on git master reintroduces the crash. -- You received this

Sorry that I haven't had the time to follow up on this in a while. If upstream is holding out for multitouch specs, then I wouldn't hold my breath waiting. From what I could tell, when I looked at it, the multitouch support in Windows is handled by the user-space driver, and not by the hardware.
