Well, that's just the Linux/Debian way. Whenever a server package is installed/upgraded, it usually restarts itself. Also, this is is not a real issue for stable releases.
It could try to save the currently active connections/leases and restore them after restart, thus I keep this open as a wishlist bug. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- network-manager is restarting the network on upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
