wifi-bluetooth-support.robot: nmcli package check & installation

[matmacieje]

network-manager package check added in WLE002.001 test case

[macpijan]

Has it been tested? Can you show logs? It shows that network-manager is installed, but nmcli is still unavailable?

@macpijan yes, it is tested, here's the log.

WLE_nmcli.zip

I've also checked for differences between Ubuntu versions, if nmcli binary is being provided by another package in the past.

I've also checked for differences between Ubuntu versions, if nmcli binary is being provided by another package in the past.

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/nmcli.1.html

It says that the nmcli is provided by network-manager package since Ubuntu 20.04LTS and it doesn' change for any newer version.

Has it been tested? Can you show logs? It shows that network-manager is installed, but nmcli is still unavailable?

This actually shows that the package is not installed:

root@3mdeb:/home/ubuntu# nmcli device wifi rescan
nmcli device wifi list
Command 'nmcli' not found, but can be installed with:
snap install network-manager  # version 1.2.2-31, or
apt  install network-manager  # version 1.46.0-1ubuntu2.2
See 'snap info network-manager' for additional versions.

Or that nmcli was somehow erased without removing the network-manager package.

More context:

dpkg --list network-manager will give an output:

| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name            Version           Architecture Description
+++-===============-=================-============-============================>
rc  network-manager 1.46.0-1ubuntu2.2 amd64        network management framework>

Even if the package is not installed...
Confirming with apt is the way:

apt list --installed 2> /dev/null |grep network-manager

Gives empty output. So the keyword Check If Package Is Installed is broken. If I install network manager and repeat, I get:

apt list --installed 2> /dev/null |grep network-manager
network-manager-pptp/noble,now 1.2.12-3build2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
network-manager/noble-updates,now 1.46.0-1ubuntu2.2 amd64 [installed]

Still does not work reliably. See my comment: #746 (comment)
