Package: network-manager Version: 0.7.0-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 3.5
Without dnsmasq-base installed, nm-applet fails silently in creating an ad-hoc network. NetworkManager outputs the following messages: .... <WARN> start_sharing(): (eth1/eth1): failed to start dnsmasq: Could not find dnsmasq binary. .... <WARN> nm_device_activate_stage5_ip_config_commit(): Activation (eth1) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) start sharing failed. .... With dnsmasqbase installed, everything seems to work fine. Note that the missing dependency on dnsmasq-base is only a guess. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii ifupdown 0.6.8+nmu1 high level tools to configure netw ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcrypt11 1.4.1-1 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnutls26 2.4.2-4 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libhal1 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libnl1 1.1-2 library for dealing with netlink s ii libnm-glib0 0.7.0-1 network management framework (GLib ii libnm-util1 0.7.0-1 network management framework (shar ii libpolkit-dbus2 0.9-2 library for accessing PolicyKit vi ii libpolkit2 0.9-2 library for accessing PolicyKit ii libtasn1-3 1.4-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libuuid1 1.41.3-1 universally unique id library ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii wpasupplicant 0.6.4-3 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii network-manager-gnome 0.7.0-1 network management framework (GNOM ii network-manager-kde 1:0.7~~svn908338-1 KDE systray applet for controlling ii policykit 0.9-2 framework for managing administrat ii ppp 2.4.4rel-10.1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) - da Versions of packages network-manager suggests: ii avahi-autoipd 0.6.22-3 Avahi IPv4LL network address confi -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
