 Package: network-manager-gnome

 Severity: grave
 Justification: renders package unusable
 
 Hi there,
 
 the latest n-m update was partially blocked by the updated dependency on
 isc-dhcp-client, which in turn conflicts with the latest version of
 resolvconf.  unfortunately the dependencies in n-m-gnome (n-m = 0.7)
 are a little too loose and as a result n-m-gnome was updated while n-m
 was held back.
 
 the resulting situation is that n-m-gnome is completely unusable as i guess
 there's some incompatibilities between 0.8 and 0.8.0.999.  i don't
 know the relations in n-m well enough to know if a ${source:Version} or
 ${binary:Version} would be appropriate here, but i suggest that you at
 least bump dependency for n-m-gnome to nm = 0.8.0.999-1 in the meantime.
 

Could you be more specific, what you did and what problems you had.

Did you do a partial upgrade of the network-manager, i.e. you only upgrade the
libnm-* libs to 0.8.0.999 but not network-manager itself?

To be more clear about this: what combination of packages and versions did you
test, which didn't work

hi michael,

the applet remains visible but the enable networking option remains
unselectable (if you select it it stays disabled).  so it is not possible
to use either wired or wireless networking without manually configuring
it via dhclient/iwconfig etc.

yeah.  when i did an apt-get upgrade it brought in libnm-util1
libnm-glib-vpn1 libnm-glib2 and network-manager-gnome, but network-manager
remained at the previous version because of the situation with isc-dhcp-client
and resolvconf.

i believe everything except network-manager was updated to 0.8.0.999.
