The software in the -proposed repositories is still in its testing phase.
You should not be disappointed if software turns out to be buggy while in testing. Only after a period of successful use in -testing it will be made available for everyone in the -updates repositories.

Yes, this case is a bit more complicated, because it disables networking functionality, and it is tricky to repair a system that is broken with this bug.

In https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/284147 I described a way to re-install the previous version of the packages, and another user has already successful done that.

Can you help with this problem?
