Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

the nm signal handler catches crash signal and prevents apport crash reporting.

for gutsy final we don't want catch the following signals in src/nm-logging.c:

                case SIGSEGV:
                case SIGBUS:
                case SIGILL:
                case SIGABRT:
                        nm_warning ("Caught signal %d. Generating backtrace...", signo);
                        nm_logging_backtrace ();
                        exit (1);
                        break;

  * debian/patches/41z_lp138217_use_timeout_to_schedule_activation.patch,series:
    don't use idle_source to schedule activation, but rest a bit by using a
    timeout_source with 250ms delay (LP: #138217).
  * debian/network-manager.postinst: sleep 2 seconds after ifblacklist_migrate.sh
    (LP: #146757).
  * debian/patches/41w_lp145683_cancel_scan_in_supplicant_cleanup.patch,series: first part
    for lp145683 - cancel pending scans on terminate (LP: #145683).
  * debian/patches/41wa_lp145683_wpa_ctrl_check_select_result_for_error.patch,series:
    second part to fix lp145683; test select result for errors (in case of
    TERMINATE) (LP: #145683).
  * debian/patches/41y_queue_if_dbus_name_is_taken_on_startup.patch,series: make
    restart of network manager more failsafe and even allow to take over name
    ownership. When ownership is taken over (dbus signal |NameLost| received), we
    shutdown cleanly by sending |X| through |nm_shutdown_pipe| (LP: #85113).

    signals (LP: #145653).
