** Description changed: Impact ====== Kubuntu 16.04 and 16.10 users who try to install 'lxqt' will have network-manager uninstalled. This is needlessly disruptive since network-manager should work fine and users may have already configured their networks with network-manager. Test Case ========= From Kubuntu, run sudo apt install lxqt Does apt say that it will remove network-manager? Regression Potential ==================== Low. Maybe cmst integrates better with lxqt? Other Info ========== 'lxqt' is the metapackage from Debian. For 16.10 and newer, it is recommended to install lubuntu-qt-desktop instead. lxqt 4 recommends cmst. cmst depends on connman. network-manager conflicts with connman. This bug does not affect Ubuntu (Unity) where apt does not install cmst despite the recommends. I think the reason that it works in Ubuntu (Unity) is because Ubuntu (Unity) depends on indicator-network which depends on network-manager. Kubuntu only recommends plasma-nm which depends on network-manager. Because it was - only a recommends, apt is happy to remove plasma-nm to fulfill the new - cmst recommends. + only a recommends, I think apt is happy to remove plasma-nm to fulfill + the new cmst recommends.

Need to get 22,5 MB of archives. After this operation, 105 MB of additional disk space will be used. This means that network-manager and plasma-nm are to be uninstalled. I have been left with my KDE system without connectivity even before logging out of the KDE session and logging into the LxQt one. LxQt doesn't recommend connman, but it's a dependency. Thus LxQt cannot run along with KDE and this is to be made clear to users. As an option, connman is to be made an option, not a mandatory bit.
