[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#903996: network-manager-config-connectivity-debian fills up logs

[Mark van Rossum]

Package: network-manager-config-connectivity-debian
Version: 1.12.0-5
Severity: important


Dear Maintainer,

Since the update to network-manager-config-connectivity-debian:amd64 
1.12.0-4, and when I am connected via Wifi
Networkmanager is rapidly filling syslog  and user.log with error 
messages of the following structure:

> NetworkManager[1126]: <error> [1531337424.2758] connectivity: 
connectivity check failed: 4

We are talking megabytes per minute (which is a bug by itself; it should 
not do this as this is dangerous).

When I comment out the uri entry in

/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-debian.conf

and restart Networkmanager it is ok.

Note, it does not happen on all Wifi networks.
