Description:

Upgrading NetworkManager from version 0.9.8.10 to 0.9.10.0 without also upgrading libnm-glib to 0.9.10.0 causes
NetworkManager to fail to start because of an undefined symbol error.

It appears that the NetworkManager PKGBUILD doesn't have a version dependency on libnm-glib. So upgrading
just NetworkManager with `sudo pacman -S networkmanager` will cause this problem to appear. Upgrading the entire system
with `sudo pacman -Syu` happens to work because libnm-glib is upgraded at the same time.

Additional info:

This is the error message in the journal it gives:

NetworkManager[3356]: /usr/bin/NetworkManager: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/NetworkManager: undefined symbol: nm_utils_hwaddr_aton_len

Steps to reproduce:

* Upgrade NetworkManager from 0.9.8.10-3 to 0.9.10.0-2 (sudo pacman -S networkmanager).
* Don't upgrade libnm-glib (leave at 0.9.8.10-3).
* Restart NetworkManager (sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager).
* NetworkManager fails to start.
