I reported this one upstream already but I thought I should file it here too since we have libc-2.20 in [testing]: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17371

libc in the glibc-2.20 package segfaults inside `getifaddrs_internal`. Noticed both it in sudo and wireshark, preventing them from running. Potential frustration for anyone relying on sudo + pacman.
This task depends upon

Not sure if this is the correct fix, but this glibc for me. Looks like ipv6 parsing for certain devices was incorrect.

Any chance you feel like building glibc from ABS, adding "debug" to the options and removing the strip lines at the end. Then provide a full backtrace?

Correct patch at https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-09/msg00312.html
