Public bug reported:
After applying the network-manager SRU in mantic, I get a notification
that a system restart is required to fully apply updates.
This immediately raised a question, because I KNOW my network connection
was restarted when the SRU was installed (I have a VPN that did not
auto-reconnect).
And I checked the state of the process - it was definitely restarted and
is running from the binary currently on disk.
The network-manager postinst has the following code:
# request a reboot (NM tears down interfaces on restart
# which is not the way we want to go)
[ -x /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required ] && \
/usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required
But the service restart is also happening. debian/rules currently has:
override_dh_installsystemd:
dh_installsystemd -pnetwork-manager --no-start
NetworkManager-dispatcher.service NetworkManager-wait-online.service
nm-priv-helper.service
dh_installsystemd -pnetwork-manager --no-also NetworkManager.service
No other systemd overrides. Nothing inhibits the restart of the service.
It needs to be one or the other. And if we're doing SRUs of network-
manager, then this is bad UX for users applying their daily updates and
should be fixed in SRU.
