Package: network-manager Version: 1.44.2-3 Severity: important
The recent introduction of a versioned breaks against isc-dhcp-client resulted in a de-installation of network-manager, leading in turn to a broken network. at that time, the only available (physical) network was a WiFi, and the only tool for configuring WiFi networks on the system used to be network-manager, which got me into a catch22 situtation, where it was impossible to download the packages required to get networking again. i understand that your stance is, that a new version of isc-dhcp-client should be uploaded ASAP, and the problem will fix itself: > I will add a versioned Breaks isc-dhcp-client (<< 4.4.3-P1-5) to > network-manager, assuming the next version fixing this issue will be > 4.4.3-P1-5. this looks an awful lot like a generic assumption/wish to the isc-dhcp-client maintainers. i would wish for a very tight coordination between the maintainers of n-m (aka: you) and those of isc-dhcp-client, *before* introducing such a potentially devastating change. _______________________________________________ Pkg-utopia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-utopia-maintainers
