Package: network-manager Version: 0.8-1 Severity: wishlist NetworkManager has support for integrating with ifupdown to cooperate with the system-wide configuration the user already has. However, it seems like NetworkManager should work fine with ifupdown not installed at all, since it then has no configuration to cooperate with. If the sysadmin wants ifupdown and its configuration, they'll already have it installed; NetworkManager shouldn't need to depend on it.
So, could NetworkManager remove its ifupdown Depends, or change it to an Enhances or similar? - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii dhcp3-client 3.1.3-2 DHCP client ii ifupdown 0.6.10 high level tools to configure netw ii libc6 2.10.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.86-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnutls26 2.8.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgudev-1.0-0 153-2 GObject-based wrapper library for ii libnl1 1.1-5 library for dealing with netlink s ii libnm-glib2 0.8-1 network management framework (GLib ii libnm-util1 0.8-1 network management framework (shar ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.96-2 PolicyKit Authorization API ii libuuid1 2.16.2-0 Universally Unique ID library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii udev 153-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii dnsmasq-base 2.52-1 A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP ii iptables 1.4.6-2 administration tools for packet fi pn modemmanager <none> (no description available) ii network-manager-gnome 0.8-1 network management framework (GNOM ii policykit-1 0.96-2 framework for managing administrat pn ppp <none> (no description available) Versions of packages network-manager suggests: pn avahi-autoipd <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
