Nut upsdev - Dec 2013 - kernel update to 3.12.5-1, now: upsd[617]: getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

Charles, All,

  I just updated the kernel on my Arch box (the one we have been working on nut
with on this list). Now upsd fails to start. (upsdrvctl is fine). I've
posted
working then -- Reboot -- the failing log information below. The
'Reboot' was
for the kernel upgrade:

  The kernel update was from linux (3.12.1-3 -> 3.12.5-1), I don't see
what
could have changed. How do I attempt to further debug/fix this?

getaddrinfo(3) is a libc function - is it possible that libc was updated as
well?

I am not seeing many references to the kernel when googling for that error
message, but there was this about glib 2.18:

Crap! You are right!

[2013-12-16 14:03] [PACMAN] upgraded glibc (2.18-10 -> 2.18-11)

How do I fix that other than downgrading?
