Package: network-manager-gnome Version: 1.24.0-1 Severity: wishlist
Hi. AFAIU network-manager-gnome is just the GUI applet for controlling NM, and it seems to work just fine without network-manager itself (well it simply cannot do anything, but does so gracefully). Would it be possible to only Recommend network-manager instead of Depending on it? That would allow to install minimum desktop enviornments on systems where e.g. there is normally no networking and where pulling in all dependencies of NM itself makes not much sense. A desktop environment that still wants to make sure that NM is installed could depend on it in one of it's higher levelpackages (e.g. like from gnome or cinnamon-desktop-environment) Cheers, Chris.
