Bug#533740: gnome-network-admin: Using network-manager with the rest of Gnome too offending ?

[Olivier Berger]

Package: gnome-network-admin
Version: 2.22.1-4
Severity: normal

Hi.

Since latest update to gnome-system-tools (intending to fix #460691), the dependencies have become a bit difficult to live with : if one wants to use network-manager-gnome, then he/she has to remove gnome and gnome-desktop-environment (which depend on the conflicting gnome-network-admin).

I suppose that network-manager shouldn't be banned from Gnome, right ?

I think that solving #460691 in such a way is definitely a problem... one could want to use gnome with network-manager instead of gnome with gnome-network-admin, right ?

Please address this problem with a larger focus than just "your" package.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
