Network Manager died after updating oxideqt on Ubuntu 14.04.3

Asked by karu

I have a big problem!
PC and Notebook both work under Ubuntu 14.04.3 (64 bit). After updating oxideqt with its libraries (29.01.2016) and rebooting afterwards Network Manager completely died. Rebooting doesn't help. NMCLI refuses to start because Network Manager has no version number. I cannot even send the crash report because I have no connection to the net. Neither Ethernet (PC) nor Wi-Fi (Notebook).
Moreover the Notebook has completely fresh install (some weeks) without synchronizing AppCenter with PC!
Even now for writing this I booted from LiveCD.

PLEASE HELP!

P.S. I cannot understand how but today (31.01.2016) both my computers started "telling" me that they've found new software updates without any connection to the net. When I tried to install these updates they finished unsuccessfully because they require to be installed from sources without authorization!

If you run:

sudo dhclient eth0

Do you get an IP?

That's what I get in terminal: "RTNETLINK answers: File exists"

I cannot even get access to my router either from PC or from Notebook via Web-interface.

Command "ip route" gives for PC:
default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.5

Probably the same problem as https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/284147 hitting all systems with trusty-proposed repository enabled.
