2009-09-16 17:34:50 Anders Kaseorg description Binary package hint: network-manager Before the upstart transition, network-manager’s prerm would only stop the daemon if the package was being removed. Now, the prerm stops the daemon unconditionally, which means the network is brought down for the entire duration of any upgrade that includes a new network-manager. This would be fixed by setting DEB_DH_INSTALLINIT_ARGS = -R in debian/rules, except that the transition doesn’t quite work: the old preinst still stops network-manager, and the new preinst tries to restart it, but restarting a stopped Upstart job apparently fails (“restart: Unknown instance: ”).
