Are these two points consistent? In other words, *is* it as simple as running: update-rc.d network-manager disable and installing wicd or something else, or is that configuration "extremely confusing" to users? Or did you mean something different by the last paragraph? If there's a clean way to disable network-manager, I think that's a reasonable alternative to either creating yet another meta-package or arguing about Depends vs. Recommends in gnome-core. But there seems to be a lot of debate over this point. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
