Note that this may look similar to the recent StateReason issue fixed in
https://github.com/martinpitt/python-dbusmock/commit/bd51d9108e08
but it's different.

python-dbusmock upstream runs tests against Fedora rawhide as well, and I just
restarted a run against latest rawhide:
https://travis-ci.org/martinpitt/python-dbusmock/jobs/628460969
this succeeds against NetworkManager-1:1.22.2-1.fc32.x86_64, i. e. the same NM
upstream version that up uploaded into Debian.

As per https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/python-dbusmock/unstable/amd64/ the
first failure happened in
https://ci.debian.net/data/packages/unstable/amd64/p/python-dbusmock/3694572.log
against NM 1.22.0, while the last successful run was against 1.20.8.

I'll investigate this more closely tomorrow. Right now my sid schroot is rather
broken due to some weirdness with gnupg disappearing from the archive.

Thanks,

Martin
