Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted wpa into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be

in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

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

Title:
  Broken dbus GetAll message to wpa supplicant interface properties

Status in wpa package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in wpa source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  One of the distro patch is incorrect and create issues when trying to query dbus properties

  * Test Case

  $ sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1
  /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1
  org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll
  string:fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface

  shouldn't error out

  (the /1 reflect the interface number and could be a different value,
  check with d-feet if needed)

  * Regression potential

  The fixes is in the dbus interface, check that communication with
  desktop clients (indicator, applet, settings) still works correctly,
  returning expected informations on the signal, etc

  ---------------------

  dbus-send is able to read the properties of interface using GetAll. Those information include interface name, status, encryption method, etc.
  The regression was introduced when someone try to have the Station attribute supported
