Correction/Addendum to the SRU justification above:

Fixed in current Ubuntu. Bionic uses NM 1.8.x. This bug was fixed in 1.4.

[Impact]

* This LP bug's original submitter backported the upstream 1.4 fix to 1.2, not Upstream.

[Regression Potential]

* The patch changes both nm-dhcp-helper and NetworkManager itself. As soon as the new packages are unpacked, the new nm-dhcp-helper will be used on DHCP lease renewals, with the new Notify mechanism. Since the running, old NetworkManager is still expecting Event notifications, the patched nm-dhcp-helper has fallback capability to Event.

* Once NetworkManager is restarted and is running the patched version, it will have the new Notify support.
