Package: gwibber
Version: 3.0.0.1-2.1
Followup-For: Bug #605303
Dear Maintainer,
Gwibber-service currently has a (not needed) dependency on network-manager.
If you're not using Gnome, or don't want network-manager, gwibber-service will
crash hard during startup.
The fix is relatively easy, basically wrapping the calls to nm in
dispatcher.py in an if.
Patch attached, which "Works for me" (TM) (YMMV)
