I prefer the functionality (when it functions!) of network-manager. In today's update, gnome-network-admin conflicts with network-manager-gnome, which is therefore deleted, making network-manager and a few other things no longer needed. If I try to hold gnome-network-admin, aptitude tells me that it "depends" on gnome-system-tools (= 2.22.1-4). (I guess what it should be telling me is that I CAN'T hold it because the version of gnome-system-tools about to be installed is incompatible with the older version of gnome-network-admin.) I can hold gnome-system-tools as well and keep network manager, which I guess is what I'll do for now. I guess the question is why gnome-network-admin conflicts with network-manager-gnome in the first place, as it hasn't before. But that's life on a testing system.
