Is this a requirement for other network-providing packages as well? If so, openvpn for instance is RC-buggy because upgrading it will restart any configured VPNs. We don't require other packages to continue to work uninterrupted during upgrades, and while I can agree NM is in a bit of special situation by virtue of controlling the network, I am not sure being as strict as you are here is reasonable. > - Installing the gnome or the NM package must not cause any network > configuration the user has specified to be lost. This is reasonable, and makes ifupdown RC-buggy, since rm-ing /etc/network/interfaces and reinstalling the package will change the network configuration (the file is recreated). I've just filed a bug about this. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
