returned error exit status 10
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* A failure to query nmcli will fail the network-manager.postinst
maintainer script (using "set -e")
* This will make the package installation/upgrade fail
* The fix catches the error on "ORIG_NAME=$(nmcli --get-values
connection.id con show "$UUID")" and skips the corresponding keyfile
with a warning message

[ Where problems could occur ]
* This is touching NetworkManager's maintainer script
* Breaking it could lead to a broken/unconfigured NetworkManager package
* This could render a machine's networking unusable
* It could break distribution upgrades on package install/configure failure
[ Other Info ]
* Linting was used to validate the maintainer script:
shellcheck --shell=sh debian/network-manager.postinst
=== original bug description ===
lunar to mantic upgrade, exciting to see output from network-manager
postinst migrating connections to /etc/netplan one by one. But then:
Error: 491fa5c8-68ef-4140-8679-dca422f5c262 - no such connection profile.
dpkg: error processing package network-manager (--configure):
installed network-manager package post-installation script subprocess
returned error exit status 10
That UUID appears in a file /etc/NetworkManager/system-
connections/UPTOWN.guests that hasn't been touched since 2015.
Contents of the file were:
[connection]
id=UPTOWN.guests
uuid=491fa5c8-68ef-4140-8679-dca422f5c262
type=wifi
[wifi]
ssid=UPTOWN.guests
mode=infrastructure
mac-address=E0:9D:31:09:84:54
[ipv6]
method=auto
[ipv4]
method=auto
I've removed it from disk and the migration continued to completion.
Then I got another failure on:
[connection]
id=belkin.1e4.guests
uuid=2c77e512-f3e3-4238-b401-c94559cc6db0

Is it unhappy because of the . in the names?
