[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#773213: network-manager: NetworkManager.service not restarted by systemd

[Mikko Rapeli]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

NetworkManager.service is not restarted by systemd if NetworkManager
crashed or is killed.

To repeat:

 * boot Debian into Xfce or similar gui with Network Manager Applet
 * kill NetworkManager, as root 'killall -9 NetworkManager'
 * notice how Network Manager Applet just says 'Network Manager is not
   running...'

Workaround is to restart NetworkManager:

 * as root, 'systemctl start NetworkManager.service'

Attached patch fixes this and NetworkManager.service is restarted.
With the patch the service is correctly restarted, and systemd seems to
detect if the service is respawning too fast due to other bugs,
like when NetorkManager is crashing after 'brctl addif br0 eth0' (separate
bug).
