[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#719967: network-manager-gnome: wants to install tons of unnecessary gnome stuff

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.8.2-1+b1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear maintainers and package-managers,

I want to install network-manager-gnome, as it appears sometimes a better alternativ to wicd.
Some accesspoints do not want to connect with wicd, but nm-gnome does (it looks like the dhcp client is working better in nm-gnome). As I am using KDE, I just want to install only nm-gnome, and its needed files. But, when I want to install nm-gnome using aptitude, it wants to install tons of gnome stuff, I do not want to (for example brasero, lots of libs, lots of gnome-* and more.

So please could you change the dependencies, so that really needed dependencies for nm-gnome are installed. Would be nice!

If I am wrong, just tell me, although I do not believe, that for example brasero is needed for nm-gnome. :)

Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!

Best 

Hans
