This is not an option on upgrade from <= 23.04 to >= 23.10 because the postinst needs the new NetworkManager running for the connections migration. -- 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/2040292 Title: network-manager SRU flags system for restart required but also restarted the service Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
