[Bug 2036452] Re: Update of libc6 packages breaks graphics driver intel-i915-dkms

[Simon Chopin]

Hi, thanks for the report.

I was able to reproduce what seems to be the symptoms on a fresh VM with
the previous version of glibc:

schopin at ubuntu2204:~$ cat /var/lib/dkms/intel-i915-dkms/1.23.5.19.230406.21.5.17.0.1034/build/make.log

This should be investigated by the Intel team, as the failure really
doesn't tell us much about what happened. Marking as Invalid as
evidently the glibc SRU isn't at fault.

** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  Worked fine before this update.
