Package: plasma-widget-networkmanagement Version: 0.1+git20110422.810bc16-1~bpo60+1 Severity: minor
To summarise discussion on #debian-qt-kde: Upgrading from the squeeze n-m packages to the pnm package in backports leaves the kde networking subsystem in a confused state, at least with respect to wireless connections. This will also happen with squeeze->wheezy and even for upgrades within wheezy and sid as time goes on. The user apparently needs know that they should either: * qdbus org.kde.kded /kded unloadModule networkmanagement; qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadModule networkmanagement * reload the networking component in system settings * log out / log back in * reboot It would be much nicer for the user if one of the following happened instead: * user session notices that networking components/pnm/n-m have been upgraded and reloads them * postinst notifies user sessions over dbus that upgrades have happened and user session reloads them * postinst tells user they should log out/log in * postinst tells user they should reboot, e.g.: [ -x /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required ] && /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required Complexity vs ease of implementation... cheers Stuart -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (550, 'stable-updates'), (550, 'stable'), (101, 'proposed-updates'), (60, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages plasma-widget-networkmanagement depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze2 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze2 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze2 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libkutils4 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze2 various utility classes for the KD ii libplasma3 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze2 the Plasma Library for the KDE Pla ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-network 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 network module ii libqt4-svg 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 SVG module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 GUI module ii libsolid4 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze2 Solid Library for KDE Platform ii libsolidcontrol4 4:4.4.5-7+squeeze1 library for Solid based network ma ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii mobile-broadband-prov 20101106-1 database of mobile broadband servi ii network-manager 0.8.4.0-2~bpo60+1 network management framework (daem Versions of packages plasma-widget-networkmanagement recommends: ii kwalletmanager 4:4.4.5-1 secure password wallet manager ii network-manager-openvpn 0.8.1-1 network management framework (Open ii network-manager-pptp 0.8.1-1 network management framework (PPTP ii network-manager-vpnc 0.8.1-1 network management framework (VPNC Versions of packages plasma-widget-networkmanagement suggests: ii kdebase-workspace-bin 4:4.4.5-7+squeeze1 core binaries for the KDE Plasma W -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
