[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1024245: network-manager: after upgrade - can't modify or add connections

[Fab]

I can confirm that this workaround does the trick. The .gschema.xml used 
to be a unique file but has been split into two files (one for eap), and 
in the process, a "path=..." attribute was added, when network-manager 
expects a relocatable schema (without a predefined path).

Without this correction, it is complicated to add a new network from the 
Cinnamon applet for network manager. The other workaround was to use 
nmtui-edit which would allow changes to be made sometimes.

The package providing the 
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.nm-applet.eap.gschema.xml file is 
not network-manager though, but libnma-common

Thank you Markus, I spent a lot of time trying to figure this out.
