The keepfile created by the NetworkManager ebuild to maintain the empty directory /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ is parsed by NetworkManager leading to this error message in its journal/log: Aug 25 17:51:51 moria NetworkManager[26794]: <warn> keyfile: error loading connection from file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.keep_net-misc_networkmanager-0: invalid connection: connection.type: property is missing I wonder whether the keepfile is still needed or whether NetworkManager would nowadays create this directory on its own when needed. Maybe there's also another/better way to deal with this.

The problem with attempting to parse '.keep' files was already fixed upstream in networkmanager-1.0.4: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735824 Auto-creating the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ would be nice, but is not really a bug that hurts gentoo (it just forces us to add 2 extra lines in the ebuild). Marking issue as fixed.
