Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I have recently upgraded to network-manager 0.6.5-1 and can no longer
access any of my wireless networks.
The package control file says "Replaces: network-manager-gnome" which
appears to be a complete falsehood! There is no nm-applet in there at
all, which the changelog also states.
Unfortunately there is also no nm-applet anywhere else, as far as I can
see. Even worse, I can't find any Debian source to build one from.
In the interim I have reconstructed the network-manager-gnome 0.6.4-8
package in order to tell it that it's OK to install alongside
network-manager (>= 0.6.4) and have rebuild network-manager from source
to tell it that it *does not* provide network-manager-gnome.
Surprisingly, this approach works, and I can once more connect to my
wireless networks.
This suggests that one reasonable fix would be to release a new
network-manager-gnome 0.6.4-9 (or so) which claims to work with
network-manager (>= 0.6.4-8) and a new network-manager &co which doesn't
make false claims about providing / conflicting with that.
It seems fairly precipitate to have released this package into Sid
without having a corresponding network-manager-gnome package to go with
it, since the package is effectively useless without the UI required to
prompt me for my keyring password.

Andrew McMillan

network-manager-gnome_0.6.5-1 is now available in unstable so this bug
is no longer valid. Closing it.
