I'm not really sure what your issue is here, but there are a few things that come to mind. 1) there should be a meta-package for network connections, which things like network-manager should provide 2) LXDE is the real problem here - if it wants to run on Ubuntu, it really needs to work with network-manager, because that's our default network manager (???). If it can, then it can provide a dependency on "lxnm | network-manager" (surely not network-manager-gnome). I'd be really, really, surprised if this can't be fixed merely by providing those alternate dependencies on the package and no other change. 3) I'm not sure network-manager really needs to be so exclusive, but there must be _some_ network control applications that can't be installed, because surely only one application can be managing any given connection. -- derek -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
