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.
