[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#888050: network-manager: Debian Unstable network-manager 1.10.2-3 does not complete processing

[Ron Lovell]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.10.2-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The update of network-manager fails to complete. I noticed before
applying the update that several packages would be removed, including
libnm-gtk0, libnm-utils2, and libnm-glib4. The dependencies appeared
to revolve around the update to gnome-shell.  The network-manager
package is currently in partly-configured state ("C"). Otherwise,
system appears to work okay.

Sample output while doing an update with aptitude, showing attempt
to restart NetworkManager.service to complete the network-manager configuration:

Setting up network-manager (1.10.2-3) ...
Job for NetworkManager.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status NetworkManager.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript network-manager, action "restart" failed.
