[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#432322: network-manager: stops remote gnome session

[Matthijs Melchior]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.5-1
Followup-For: Bug #432322


When upgrading 'netweork-manager', the IP address of the connection used
to do the upgrade is removed. This makes the upgrade process stop, with
no way to continue using the normal connection through eth0.

Logging in on the system console, which is normally not in use due to
the low quality of the screen, I was able to let the upgrade continue by
giving the follwoing commands:
   ifdown eth0; ifup eth0

Please integrate this in the 'network-manager' upgrade script to enable
upgrading when the gnome session doing the upgrade is on a remote X server.

Thanks,
	Matthijs melchior.
