That's indeed what seems to be the case, and this has already been debugged. The issue is that the code that does the override on upgrade looks for the wrong version of NetworkManager, since it has been updated in Xenial.
This change has been in the process of being tested; I'll upload to the release proper as soon as I know that it really does work. The netplan code itself should be created only on new installs; for an upgrade, it's not there, and thus we need to explicitly write an override for NM via NM postinst. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676547 Title: No network connectivity after upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: nplan was installed during the upgrade process but I had no network connectivity after upgrading.
