[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu.tl@xxxxxxxxx>]

The issue is pretty clearly in NetworkManager: the use-user-connections
policy gets dropped (it's no longer needed upstream) when the files are
unpacked; but the currently running instance of NM is still expecting it
to be there. Otherwise, it's as if it's not permitted, hence why the
wifi and any other user-specific connections are dropped.

I can ship the policy in an SRU; there's basically no adverse effect
since it's not being referred to anywhere in NM code; it will just be
useless once the system is restarted after the upgrade, but at least the
upgrade won't give out errors for flash (and ttf fonts?)

Title:
  flashplugin-installer upgrade failed during Oneiric upgrade

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This would affect any user connected to only wifi or 3G (or a VPN) while upgrading. Users connected to wired (which is a considered as a system-wide connection) are unaffected. A release-note text was provided to help mitigate the issue.

  [Development Fix]
  Tested locally in a PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/mathieu-tl/nm/ubuntu) which depends on manually changing the sources.list to point to oneiric, add that PPA (remove any others listed for natty) and running 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Version is network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4~mtrudel~nm1; to be 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4.

  [Stable Fix]

  [Test Case]
  Run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' from a newly-installed Natty system after changing the sources to point to Oneiric. (will require making sure oneiric-proposed is enabled)

  [Regression Potential]
  Very low. The missing policy is only in use on the Natty system with the natty version of NetworkManager running while the upgrade is being done; after the upgrade complete and NetworkManager (or the system) is restarted, that policy is no longer referred to.

  Upgrade failed as the flashplugin-installer package failed to upgrade.
  I suspect this was because the network was unavailable at this point
  in the process.
