Package: network-manager Version: 0.8.1-4 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Installing network-manager on a box with / on NFS brings down the primary network interface, rendering the root file system inaccessible. I had to manually disable /etc/init.d/network-manager (from the NFS server) to get it to boot again. My intention for NetworkManager was to have it manage the "secondary" network interfaces, i.e. WLAN. Output during installation: === Begin snippet === Setting up network-manager (0.8.1-4) ...
