Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: important
Currently, network-manager recommends, between others:
network-manager-gnome | network-manager-kde
However, network-manager-kde is deprecated and plasma-widget-networkmanagement
takes its place now. This seems like a minor issue, but it's not.
When a user is installing kde-standard, it pulls
plasma-widget-networkmanagement,
as kde-standard recommends it. This however causes network-manager-gnome to be
installed
as well, along with its gnome dependencies and recommends, including
gnome-bluetooth,
policykit-1-gnome and others. The chain is this:
p kde-standard Recommends plasma-widget-networkmanagement
p plasma-widget-networkmanagement Depends knm-runtime (= 0.1~svn1141976-1)
p knm-runtime Depends network-manager (>= 0.7.0)
p network-manager Recommends network-manager-gnome |
network-manager-kde
If network-manager was also recommending plasma-widget-networkmanagement
in this OR-ed recommend, this wouldn't happen.
I would very much like to see this fixed in squeeze, since this affects
the user experience of the kde users.
Regards,
George
