[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1010847: dbus-broker: Update from 29-4 to 30.1 breaks kde network detection (including wifi)

[Ara Keary]

Package: dbus-broker
Version: 30-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: ara.keary at gmail.com


Dear maintainer,

the aptitude update of dbus-broker from 29-4 to 30.1 occurs well:
  Unpacking dbus-broker (30-1) over (29-4) ...
  Setting up dbus-broker (30-1) ...
  Upgrading to a newer dbus-broker version requires a reboot:
  please reboot the system when convenient.

Yet after rebooting:
 . only ethernet network access works, and only if the cable is plugged before startup
 . kde networking manager does not see any wifi 
 . at some stage the kde networking icon vanishes
 . rebooting plasma shell through the following command does not solve the issue
   killall plasmashell ; kstart5 plasmashell


Reversing the dbus-broker package to 29-4 from 30.1 completely solves the issue (after a full reboot).

I don't know at this stage if kde or dbus-broker is the culprit.


Best,

Ara
