Dale is right, the package was listed in both package.unmask and package.keywords, and that has been made by autounmask to satisfy some kde4 dependencies, that's why i didn't know it... Deleted it from there and network manager is compiling fine again. Thanks to all and sorry for the stupid question... Davide
