Please note also that this commit was cherry-picked upstream for the network-manager 1.6 and 1.8 maintenance branches. See https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/b2af5f7ab676675a496adfa08541ecca43a9d9f8 It would be nice to have this fixed, for reasons similar to 896818 It's a maintenance branch fix which results in software working as it was always intended to, instead of crashing (which it was not intended to do). It makes users' custom scripts no longer crash and burn, and it makes developers of software that runs on stretch, more comfortable about considering improvements to their software which rely on libnm not being broken. Even if it is unlikely that newer versions of Cinnamon itself will be backported to stretch, Linux Mint Debian Edition which is a respin of stretch, will have those packages, Cinnamon developers will likely want to make personal builds for testing purposes, etc. so having this not crash can only be a good thing... And it means upstream software can get developed faster, which in the long run means that newer versions of Debian are more likely to see useful improvements faster, and other distros with newer versions of networkmanager that don't crash because of this bug, will be able to see those improvements immediately. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
