Package: network-manager Version: 1.4.0-4 Severity: serious Justification: makes the system unusable
Dear Maintainer, Upon upgrade to 1.4.0-4, network-manager disconnects network connections and does not reconnect (as far as I can tell, it does not even try). This is unacceptable as it makes remote management of systems impossible. Serious because a remote system become completely unusable after this until someone visits it physically (if one does not have suitable IPMI or something similar in place). This is also a regression from several years ago, when every upgrade and restart on network-manager disconnected the network before reconnecting them again. At least back then it managed to reconnect, so one only needed to run upgrades in a screen (sensible precaution for remote upgrades anyway). Now it does not reconnect, ever, so screen does not help.
