+ After upgrade from 8.10 with plasma-widget-network-manager not installed
+ to 9.04, any subsequent apt-get or other package installation/upgrade
+ actions require network-manager to uninstall. If the unwary user fails
+ to hit 'n', the wired-LAN network connection goes down.
- I did
- aptitude install firefox-3.5
- and casually hit return return when asked about removing packages.
-
- Result was that network went down.
- After some debugging, I was able to work around this, by individually
installing the following:
- libnm-glib0_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
- libnm-util1_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
- network-manager_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
-
- Console log of problematic firefox-3.5 installation attempt and
