Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.4.0-10 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
I uninstalled network-manager from a fresh install of Wheezy (with Gnome 3) to replace it with wicd. The uninstall was done after I had taken care of the gnome meta-package and stopped network-manager. After this, I couldn't get wlan0 to work with wicd because it was soft blocked. I didn't try anything else. On next reboot I noticed that /etc/network/interfaces could not be read. Then gdm3 froze. I rebooted in rescued mode and fixed the interfaces file. This fixed the "could not read /etc/network/interfaces" message on starting, but gdm3 kept freezing. gdm3 behaviour was quite erratic as sometimes it would freeze a few seconds after the cursor had appeared (on a black screen) sometimes it would display the usual screen. Moreover, it rebooted after ~15 seconds due to "kernel panic", but only twice (out of maybe 10-15 tries). I tried purging and reinstalling gdm3, as well as every package I thought could be involved. It didn't work. Since removing network-manager was one of the only things I had done to the system and since it had apparently cause some trouble, I eventually reinstalled it. This immediately fixed the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dbus 1.6.8-1 ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5+deb70u3 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100.2-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-6 ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-7.2 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-route-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.4.0-10 ii libnm-util2 0.9.4.0-10 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-3 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8 ii udev 175-7.2 ii wpasupplicant 1.0-3+b2 Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii crda 1.1.2-1 ii dnsmasq-base 2.62-3+deb7u1 ii iptables 1.4.14-3.1 ii modemmanager 0.5.2.0-2 ii policykit-1 0.105-3 ii ppp 2.4.5-5.1+b1 Versions of packages network-manager suggests: ii avahi-autoipd 0.6.31-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla [Errno 13] Permission non accordée: u'/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
