[Python-modules-team] Bug#934743: python-networkmanager: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown if NetworkManager service restarts

[Ana Rodriguez Lopez]

Package: python3-networkmanager
Version: 2.1-2
Tags: patch
Forwarded: https://github.com/seveas/python-networkmanager/issues/66

If NetworkManager service restarts, it gets a new dbus unix process id.
The python-networkmanager remains with the old id. since this process
doesn't exist any more, a org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown
exception is thrown.

The parameter follow_name_owner_changes can be used in get_object()
calls to prevent this.
