Hi,
to solve several problems with Network Manager in Bionic, an update from
upstream version 1.10.6 to 1.10.14 was done as an SRU, conducted in this
Launchpad bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1754671
This SRU (together with an already published SRU of systemd) is
especially supposed to let the correct DNS being used when a VPN is used
only for servers in the VPN. The fix got verified (meaning that the
reproducer shown in the bug description does not suffer the bug any
more) and the SRU started to get rolled out to -updates. Soon after that
some users reported regressions and the roll-out got stopped.
The regression bug reports are here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1829913
openconnect VPN is not propagating internal DNS anymore
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1829566
network-manager 1.10.14-0ubuntu2 ignores systemd-resolved configured
dns
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1829838
1.10.14-0ubuntu2 breaks DNS propagation from VPN
To try to find out what happened I have asked all the reporters for
further information but did not get answers, except with bug 1829566 but
the user did not answer everything.
For me it looks like that only very few users suffered regressions in
very special cases, as there were not more bug reports coming up and
these bug reports did not accumulate large amounts of me-too votes and
duplicates.
I asked Brian Murray (Tuesday's shift of SRU team) on #ubuntu-release
and he tell that it is better to ask for help and further testing on the
Ubuntu mailing lists instead of retrying the roll-out to -updates.
So I would like to ask you whether you could help with testing the
1.10.14-0ubuntu2 package of network-manager on Bionic (from -proposed)
or give some helpful hint.
Thanks in advance
Till
