[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#973241: network-manager: is crda still recommendable?

[Patrice Duroux]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.27.91-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

First I read this:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=972994

Then I checked this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/crda.git/tree/README

Finally I do this:
> LANG=C apt rdepends crda
crda
Reverse Depends:
  Recommends: network-manager
    crda:i386
  Suggests: wireless-regdb
    crda:i386


Stretch has Linux 4.9 < 4.15
Buster has Linux 4.19 > 4.15

But network-manager does not have the same version for both.
So should the recommendation be deleted?

I hope this is not a fake notification. ;-)

Best,
Patrice
