[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#755924: network-manager: allows to co-exist with wicd

[Daniel Langner]

Package: network-manager
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After dist-upgrading my system it became impossible to establish a wireless connection via wicd.
Only later, I noticed that along with the upgrade, network-manager was updated also.
I'm not sure whether I didn't have network-manager installed before
or whether it was merely disabled but the config script got overwritten while upgrading.
After stopping network-manager, wicd worked again.

Wicd and network-manager should not be allowed to run simultaneously.
At least, there should be some kind of warning.

Sincerely,
Daniel Langner
