[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#704776: Bug#704776: plasma-widget-networkmanagement: unhelpful error message when WiFi password changed on server

[Ralf Jung]

Hi,

could you try version 0.9.0.8 (currently in experimental [1])? I've had
the same bug as well, and it was fixed by that version [2].

Kind regards,
Ralf
