nm-applet in edgy fails to start after removing libglib-1-2

Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

if I remove libdbus-1-2 (via deborphan), nm-applet fails to start.

$ nm-applet
nm-applet: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

nm-applet seems to be linked against libdbus-1.so.3

$ ldd /usr/bin/nm-applet |grep dbus-1
libdbus-1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 (0xb724a000)

network-manager-gnome declares correctly dependency on libdbus-1-3, but something down there still tries to open libdbus-1.so.2

Installing libdbus-1-2 from dapper resolves the problem.

Can you please attach the results of a "which nm-applet", "apt-cache show network-manager-gnome", and your /etc/apt/sources.list?

Fault on my side, which nm-applet actually revealed that I had one nm-applet lurking in /usr/local/bin

removing it solved the problem.

thanx, feel free to close this as INVALID
