network-manager crashes after recent update

Network-manager crashes on boot after the recent update. If I try to launch it manually I've got the following error:
~$ sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon

I am getting the same.

my solution was to clear the /etc/network/interface file completly

cat /etc/network/interface
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

nothing more.

I had to do the same. If the /etc/network/interfaces parser cannot be made robust, perhaps it should be dropped?
