[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#718459: network-manager: refuses to stay dead after "service network-manager stop"

[brian m. carlson]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.0-5
Severity: normal

I am troubleshooting a suspend problem that I suspect may be related to
network-manager, so I tried to stop network-manager so that I could
determine if the problem was, in fact, related.  However, after using
"sudo service network-manager stop", network-manager auto-restarts,
making it difficult to troubleshoot the problem.

When root says to stop a service, it should stop, period.  It should not
auto-restart for any reason whatsoever, since root obviously had a
reason for stopping it, however arbitrary and capricious.
