Only reverting to lunar versions of packages appears to have resolved this issue.

libnm0:amd64
wpasupplicant
libnma0:amd64
networkd-dispatcher
netbase
network-manager
network-manager-gnome
network-manager-pptp

Attempting to upgrade involving:

netplan-generator
netplan.io

appears to produce a failure to write to /etc/netplan with corresponding message "failure to add/activate connection".

grep: /etc/netplan/90-NM-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.yaml: Permission denied
