[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#592444: marked as done (network-manager: Upgrade from 0.8.0-999-1 to 0.8.1-1 broke mobile broadband using HUAWEI E170)

[Andre Felipe Machado]

Hello,
I guess that the actual end-user problem persists.
The package has only recommends on a  ppp version.
The bug reports show that debian savvy users discovered that manually installing
another ppp version could solve the problem. But the wrong dependency conf is
still there (it only RECOMMENDS  ppp (>= 2.4.5) )and average user will get stuck
without being able to stabilish conection with its Huawei 3G modem if previously
installed 2.4.4, and it NEEDS 2.4.5 to work.
Please, could you confirm this?
Is there a better solution to the ppp dependency problem for 3G modem?
It will likely surface again on dist-upgrades after squeeze release.
Regards.
