Package: network-manager
Severity: normal

See corresponding dhcpcd bug #1107683.

Out of the box, network-manager and a daemonized dhcpcd (launched by the init.d 
script or systemd units provided by bin:dhcpcp) takes control of all network 
interfaces.

Installing both packages on the same host results in both daemons constantly 
trying to hijack control over the interfaces from each other. This is obviously 
undesirable. The only fix I can think of is to make these 2 packages mutually 
Conflicts.

I cannot think of any other case for conflicting with other packages, since 
ifupdown does nothing until /etc/network/interfaces is populated (and 
network-manager knows how to skip any interface defined there), and networkd 
requires manually creating units for the interfaces then unmasking the daemon 
to have it lauch, and dhcpcd-base only ships binaries needed by ifupdown or 
network-manager's dhcpcd backend but doesn't launch anything out of the box.

If you can think of a better way to handle this, I'm listening.
