Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.4.0-10
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
I uninstalled network-manager from a fresh install of Wheezy
(with Gnome 3) to replace it with wicd.
The uninstall was done after I had taken care of the gnome
meta-package and stopped network-manager.
After this, I couldn't get wlan0 to work with wicd because it
was soft blocked. I didn't try anything else.
On next reboot I noticed that /etc/network/interfaces could
not be read. Then gdm3 froze.
I rebooted in rescued mode and fixed the interfaces file.
This fixed the "could not read /etc/network/interfaces"
message on starting, but gdm3 kept freezing.
gdm3 behaviour was quite erratic as sometimes it would
freeze a few seconds after the cursor had appeared (on a
black screen) sometimes it would display the usual screen.
Moreover, it rebooted after ~15 seconds due to "kernel panic",
but only twice (out of maybe 10-15 tries).
I tried purging and reinstalling gdm3, as well as every package
I thought could be involved. It didn't work.
Since removing network-manager was one of the only things I
had done to the system and since it had apparently cause some
trouble, I eventually reinstalled it. This immediately fixed
the problem.

NM does not mangle /etc/network/interfaces (anymore).
Closing the bug report unless you can actually show a bug in NM.
