[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#474352: network-manager: Network-manager shouldn't stop the network during an upgrade

[Fabrice Lorrain]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

During today sudo aptitude upgrade (sid box), I got :
....
Preparing to replace network-manager 0.6.5-5 (using
..../network-manager_0.6.6-1_i386.deb) ...
Stopping network connection manager: NetworkManager
....

And then the process is stuck as is most of my X11 environnenment.
Mostly related to the fact that /home is nfs mounted.

A local root account on the console + a bunch of kill, dpkg --configure
-a, aptitude install fixed the situation.

@+,
