Hi all! I'm forwarding to the list this message which didn't reach the original destination. I would have to get through bugzilla to report a bug, bat this is not a bug. Although, I think it might help some onlookers...
Regards, Ennio ----- Forwarded message from ennio ----- Subject: Debian/Stretch - network-manager_1.4.4-1 and libbluetooth3_5.43-1 Reply-To: Ennio-Sr <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2017 20:27:00 +0100 To: Debian Bluetooth Maintainers <[email protected]> Cc: Utopia Maintenance Team <[email protected]> Hi! As you certainly know (and I learnt recently), in the oncoming Debian/Stretch version, the network-manager pkg depends on libbluetooth3 so that when this package is removed network-manager will be removed as well. Now, considering that - if I understand well - the Stretch default policy will be to delete all downloaded packages once they have beeen installed (unless you modify default), a newby could have problems to reconnect. AAMOF it happened to me a few days ago when, while struggling to pair an apple wireless keyboard, I removed all bluetooth related packages and remained 'isolated' from the world. Luckily enough I had a network-manager package in the /var/cache/apt/archives and could solve my problem. Of course, the deletion of network-manager is announced when you remove libbluetooth3 but I think it should be stressed by a stronger axplicit warning, also considering that while removing bluetooth one would not expect that network-manager will vanish altogether and could not notice the weak 'Remv network-manager ...' amon others. Thank you for the nice result of your work.
