[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#642784: network-manager 0.9.0-2 non-functional

[Philip Ashmore]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-6+squeeze1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi there.

   * What led up to the situation?

I ran synaptic and updated my system.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

1. I booted Ubuntu
2. I downloaded network-manager_0.8.1-6+squeeze1_amd64.deb
3. I put in my Debian's /var/cache/apt/archives directory
4. rebooted into Debian
5. ran synaptic
6. forced the version of network-manager to 0.8.1-6+squeeze1
7. updated, thereby downgrading networkmanager to 0.8.1-6+squeeze1
8. locked the version

   * What was the outcome of this action?

My wireless networking works again

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected that upgrading network-manager wouldn't bork my wireless networking
