[Bug 1697375] Please test proposed package

[Brian Murray]

Hello Jean-Baptiste, or anyone else affected,

Accepted whoopsie into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/0.2.52.4
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in

Title:
  whoopsie's network-manager state querying is broken

Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in whoopsie source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in whoopsie source package in Zesty:
  Fix Committed
Status in whoopsie source package in Artful:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  whoopsie's querying of network-manager's state is broken and this results in whoopsie only being able to detect if the system is on-line when network manager's state changes. Subsequently, if one manually restarts whoopsie then whoopsie will stay off-line until an n-m state change. This can result in crashes not being uploaded.  Additionally, whoopsie's systemd service file does not start after networking which is incorrect since it initially needs to query network-manager's state. (However, this ended up allowing crash reports to still be submitted because whoopsie would start first then the n-m's state would change and whoopsie would detect that.)

  [Test Case] (state detection failure)
  1) Manually restart the whoopsie service
  2) Observe the following two messages:
  "Jul 14 14:48:09 speedy whoopsie[14137]: [14:48:09] Could not get the Network Manager state:
  Jul 14 14:48:09 speedy whoopsie[14137]: [14:48:09] GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such property 'state'"

  with the version of network-manager from -proposed you will not see
  these messages when restarting whoopsie.

  [Test Case] (starting after network-manager0
  1) Boot your system
  2) Observe the following in syslog:
  "Jul 17 06:46:47 speedy whoopsie[1156]: [06:46:47] Could not get the Network Manager state:
  Jul 17 06:46:47 speedy whoopsie[1156]: [06:46:47] GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
  "

  with the version of network-manager in -proposed you will not see the
  "NetworkManager was not provided" messages.

  [Regression Potential]
  Its possible that systems that were not submitting crash reports suddenly will and that will use some network bandwidth and Error Tracker resources.

  - Original Description -
  ------------------------
  On artful crash reports are not uploaded automatically (several .crash files in /var/crash and no corresponding upload or .uploaded files)
