Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.4.0-7 Severity: normal During the upgrade of various packages, including NM from 0.9.4.0-6 to 0.9.4.0-7, I noticed that the package configuration actually takes down all of the NM-managed interfaces while NM restarts:
Setting up network-manager (0.9.4.0-7) ... [ ok ] Reloading system message bus config...done. [ ok ] Stopping network connection manager: NetworkManager. # NM-managed network interfaces are down here [ ok ] Starting network connection manager: NetworkManager. This was mildly annoying to have various persistent connections drop when applications saw that the network was down, but could have been much worse if there were more important network-dependent activities occuring during the upgrade. Is it necessary for NM to actually shut down interfaces when it stops, or does NM coming up require all managed interfaces to be/go down? This seems to be somewhat capricious, versus leaving interfaces in their fully configured state, and allowing the new instance to observe conditions at startup and sustain them. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dbus 1.6.8-1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.2.4-4 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-3 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-7.1 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-route-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.4.0-7 ii libnm-util2 0.9.4.0-7 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-3 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian9 ii udev 175-7.1 ii wpasupplicant 1.0-3+b2 Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii crda 1.1.2-1 pn dnsmasq-base <none> ii iptables 1.4.16.3-4 pn modemmanager <none> ii policykit-1 0.105-3 pn ppp <none> Versions of packages network-manager suggests: pn avahi-autoipd <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
