I already did, and a review of the getaddrinfo code seemed to follow all of the
recommendations on how to use that function. They were also caught by the fact
that this was a 2.18-10 to 2.18-11 updated and not a 2.17-x to 2.18-x update.

There recommendation was to check and confirm that Arch wasn't mixing 32bit and
64bit libraries somewhere.

Bottom line, something in the update yesterday broke upsd causing it to throw
the error:

  upsd[369]: getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

I tried downgrading glibc 2.18-11 => 2.18-10, but didn't reboot the remote box.
After downgrade, the same error was generated on upsd start. Looking at the
upgrades, I'm not sure what other package could have broken upsd. I even rebuilt
network-ups-tools and reinstalled. Same error.

      $ ldd /usr/bin/upsd
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff77374000)
        libssl.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x00007f292b13d000)
        libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0x00007f292ad35000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f292ab18000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f292a76e000)
        libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f292a56a000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007f292a354000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f292b3aa000)

I can't see what else could have impacted this except maybe the
linux-api-headers, but I've rebuilt/reinstalled since and have the same issue.
Does anybody else have any suggestions as to what changed?
