@Pali- The 3.13 kernel (for Trusty and Precise) including this fix is
planned for this week, so it should appear in 'Proposed' within the next
few days -- then the usual week more of baking time before actual
release.  Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your patience!

Bug description:
  After upgrading linux kernel from version 3.13.0-68 to 3.13.0-71 then
  Kopete (IM messenger) stopped working, cannot connect to any jabber
  server.

  I started debugging this problem and found out that, problem resolve
  when I boot back 3.13.0-68 kernel version (without touching any system
  files or packages). When I boot 3.13.0-71 Kopete always does not
  connect.

  Next I debugged that problem on 3.13.0-71 is just when
  /etc/resolv.conf contains only IPv6 addresses of DNS servers.

  Problem is comes down to dns resolver (jabber in Kopete has its own
  for SRV records) and syscall recvfrom() (on IPv6 socket) always return
  error -EAGAIN without any data returned. But wireshark see that DNS
  response was recevied.

  So it looks like that after 3.13.0-68 kernel was included some change
  which broke receiving UDP packets via IPv6 socket. IPv4 is OK.
