Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.2-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
After installing network-manager in an updated testing system (but without
network-manager) it happened the following:
-wireless network interface eth1 was taken down (it is "allow-hotplug"
but it was set up manually), breaking several running applications that
were using the network
-hostname was set to `localhost' (not what it is in /etc/hostname),
breaking all running X applications, as they could no longer access to the
Xserver. Why the hell a program should change the hostname of a running
system???
-network was left down, and nm-applet says wireless device is not ready
I've tried two times and installing network-manager and
network-manager-gnome
it does the same again.
I think this is a complete mess. Network-manager was working a week ago in
this system, but after an upgrade it stopped working, so I manually
de-installed it and I set up the network myself. Now I was giving it a
second chance, as I thought it was my fault for not upgrading this system
more often, but it seems network-manager is just broken.
I think that no program should ever touch the hostname, this is critical
and breaks lots of things.
Regards,
Roberto Lumbreras
