[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#428669: dbus upgrade stops network-manager, drops network for the duration

[Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.1.0-1

Preparing to replace dbus 1.0.2-5 (using .../dbus_1.1.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
Stopping network connection manager: NetworkManager.
Stopping Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
Stopping DHCP D-Bus daemon: dhcdbd.
Stopping Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon.
Stopping System Tools Backends: system-tools-backends.
Stopping system message bus: dbus.
Unpacking replacement dbus ...
[... lots of other packages unpacked and configured ...]
Setting up dbus (1.1.0-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/dbus-1/session.conf ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/dbus ...
Starting system message bus: dbus.
Starting System Tools Backends: system-tools-backends.
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon.
Starting DHCP D-Bus daemon: dhcdbd.
Starting Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
Starting network connection manager: NetworkManager.

Notice how dbus kills network-manager, which in turn deconfigures the 
network.  It can take a long time before dbus is configured and 
network-manager is started.

I don't think it is sane to drop network during a routine upgrade.  I'll 
let you and the NM maintainer to figure out which one is the culprit 
here :)  People on #d-d argued the bug belongs in dbus.

(Note that NM is installed by default on desktops.)
