I can confirm that network-manager does contain a dependency on libpam-systemd. However, it is clear that this dependency can be met by installing the libpam-elogind package. To my surprise, libpam-elogind reported a missing dependency because the required libelogind0 package conflicted with the installed libsystemd0. After replacing libsystemd0 with libelogind0, it was possible to continue. Note: For just such cases, I use aptitude in interactive mode, because everything can be elegantly found and solved there. ####### I don't normally use aptitude or other tools like it (synaptic, etc.). Since I started using apt-get, I have quite forgotten how they even work. But I suppose I could give it a try. > Bill > Cheers -- Sl�k Okay, so that did work, and I now have network-manager-tde and network-manager, so that's great. Now, on the down side, gufw was removed, which leaves me without a gui firewall. (There was an earlier discussion about this matter, firestarter being replaced by gufw. gufw : Depends: gir1.2-webkit-3.0 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I could stick with just plain ufw, but as I explained, I want to see my connections in real time.) Two steps forward, one step back.
