[Bug 1641912] Re: Please backport two recent-manager patches

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello! Thank you for preparing and uploading the fix for our stable releases. For us to be able to properly review your SRU we would need some more information included in this bug. Please update the bug description to include the SRU template as found here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template

We need to know what impact this bug has (how much the fixes better the
current situation?), a reliable test case and a quick analysis of
possible regression scenarios after the fix has been applied (looking at
the changes and thinking: what could possibly go wrong in the worst
scenario?).

Thank you!
