I don't think this is a recent regression. I have seen the symptoms for a while and have only gotten around to investigating it yesterday. Also see the linked bug which describes exactly this issue and which was raised in 2009.
However, I am inclined to believe that this is more a glibc rather than a kernel bug. In particular this is likely somewhere in libnss_dns.so, the DNS plugin to the NSS system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674273 Title: Resolver ignores ndots option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1674273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
