Dear Maintainer,

Reporting again, but with the requested info.

When I upgrade network manager, the wireless system tray icon is replaced by
the icon that indicates no internet connection. Clicking on the icon shows no
available connections. Wireless connectivity is still active though, the system
tray functionality is just borked.

Please report it against plasma-nm, not network-manager. The latter
doesn't provide any tray functionality.

Your bug is probably
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1053707

As part of the upgrade process, the NetworkManager.service is restarted.
My guess is, that plasma-nm does not properly reconnect when
NetworkManager.service is restarted and you need to logout/login.

You can try to reproduce the issue by running
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

Thanks for the insight. Yes the issue is reproduced when I run:
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

The issue is resolved when I logout and back in.
