[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#596233: network-manager should also recommend plasma-widget-networkmanagement

[George Kiagiadakis]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: important

Currently, network-manager recommends, between others:
network-manager-gnome | network-manager-kde

However, network-manager-kde is deprecated and plasma-widget-networkmanagement
takes its place now. This seems like a minor issue, but it's not.

When a user is installing kde-standard, it pulls plasma-widget-networkmanagement,
as kde-standard recommends it. This however causes network-manager-gnome to be installed
as well, along with its gnome dependencies and recommends, including gnome-bluetooth,
policykit-1-gnome and others. The chain is this:

p   kde-standard                    Recommends plasma-widget-networkmanagement            
p   plasma-widget-networkmanagement Depends    knm-runtime (= 0.1~svn1141976-1)           
p   knm-runtime                     Depends    network-manager (>= 0.7.0)                 
p   network-manager                 Recommends network-manager-gnome | network-manager-kde

If network-manager was also recommending plasma-widget-networkmanagement
in this OR-ed recommend, this wouldn't happen.

I would very much like to see this fixed in squeeze, since this affects
the user experience of the kde users.

Regards,
George
