Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: arping
Ubuntu 8.04
arping conflicts with iputils-arping, which is required by network-
manager. I installed arping only to discover I could not get to the
internet because network-manager-gnome had stopped running. I removed
arping and tried to reinstall network-manager-gnome, but I couldn't
download the archive because... I wasn't connected to the internet. I
don't know why the archive wasn't in the cache, but it wasn't.
I had to use ifconfig manually to fix the problem. This is a Bad Thing
for beginners.
Surely arping and iputils-arping should be able to co-exist through the
/etc/alternatives/ system? I don't mind if I have to refer to them as
different things on the command line, but I don't see why having arping
installed should mean I can't use network-manager.
