On LUbuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal package "lubuntu-desktop" have as
dependency 'NetworkManager' (NM). NM is uninstalled and purget out from
the system, and successfully replaced with Wicd network connections
manager.
Removing of unneeded NM (it is indeed fully replaced by Wicd) leads to
- blocking of normal installation of other software,
- when the rest of the system is fine and fully functional.
As NM is a dependency, after removing of NM package managment, on any
apt-get install or apt-get upgrade attempt system reports, for example:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pyudev python3-pyudev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
lubuntu-desktop : Depends: network-manager-gnome but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: update-notifier but it is not going to be installed
update-manager : Depends: update-notifier but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a
solution).
And nothing new will be installed.
P.S. 'update-notifier' was removed after NM removal, as this notifier
will show in system tray permanent, annoing red 'flag', indicating that
I have in repositories a sowtware that is unneeded to me.
