Unfortunately, the -glib package seems to pull in the main NetworkManager package by way of the libnm-util.so dependency. I also notice that libnm-util.so is contained in both NetworkManager and NetworkManager-devel. Maybe we need to split libnm-util.so off into a NetworkManager-libs package ? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
