Public bug reported:
On hirsute, on Jan 20, postfix stopped sending outgoing mails with the
error
Feb 22 23:35:18 pccross postfix/smtp[9582]: fatal: unknown service:
smtp/tcp
There were no changes in the system other than daily upgrades.
Strace shows that `smtp` process (while chrooted), after successful open
of the file in the queue, tried to use NSS, ran `fstat()` against
`/etc/nsswitch.conf`, that succeeded (presumably using the copy in the
/var/spool/postfix/etc/ directory), but there was no subsequent
`open()`, and the next syscall is `sendto()` of the error message to
syslog.
There was a big upgrade between the last successful and the first
unsuccessful email delivery, and among other things libc was updated
from 2.32-0ubuntu6 to 2.33-0ubuntu2. I suspect that there was some
change in the NSS in libc that resulted in the failure of
`getservbyname()`.
Is anybody else observing this problem?
