[Bug 1790966] Re: Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

[Adam Conrad]

Based on the fact that various upstreams have rebuilt to fix their apps,
and also taking into account Carlos and Florian's arguments in the
Fedora bug[1], I'm closing this Won't Fix.  It's unfortunate, but
reverting this wouldn't be a particularly good way forward.

Title:
  Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Electron apps (like Atom) give a segfault when trying to start them on Ubuntu Cosmic.
  Apparently this is related to a certain commit that is part of glibc 2.28.

  Could the workaround as e.g. Arch has implemented also be applied to
  Ubuntu, otherwise many pre-compiled applications will not work when
  Cosmic will be released.
