[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#503250: network-manager segfault

Thu Oct 23 22:38:53 UTC 2008

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: normal

n-m was unable to connect to an access point. After trying for a while,
the notification area icon disappeared. Then I noticed the following in
the system log:

Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the crash, so filing with a
low severity.

It would be nice if n-m shipped a -dbg package so that the
automatically-captured backtraces would be more useful. :)
