package network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu 1.8.4-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: installed network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

[Description]
Installation of network-manager-config-connectivity fails if network-manager is not running.

The patch appends " || true " to force-reload in the postinst script to not fail in this case.

[QA]
Test Case:
1. On a machine without network-manager already install (eg server install) install network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu

Expected Result:
It installs successfully with all its dependencies

[Regression potential]
Low to none. If the fix works the package will install, and if it does not work it will still fail to install.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Patched nm-config-connectivity-*.postinst to not fail if force-reload fails.
