[Evolution] Bug#549451: [evolution] Get rid of NM

Thu Mar 1 14:30:06 UTC 2012

Package: evolution
Version: 3.2.2-1

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Please find here an other workaround.

I can not set managed=true because otherwise many other services will not work and I can not afford this. Indeed I'm using NFS and this just hangs the machine when playing with NM.
So the solution is to get rid of NM. However as evolution depends on it, this is not possible.
However, a workaround of this exists: just get rid of /etc/init.d/network-manager. This will ensure that the dependency is satisfied, but NM does not start upons system startup.
Now, what is miraculous, is that evolution does not care and will start, guess how? ONLINE!

So, dear maintainer, CAN YOU PLEASE GET RID OF DEPENDENCY ON NM? Can you please just recommend NM, this is a task YOU CAN DO IT!

Thanks and Best Regards,
