It's totally ignores other distro configurations (Debian, Gentoo, etc.). So it is just not the "standard way of doing things" (tm). G-s-t, however, has system backends for each sytem.

Open network-admin, you have manually configured IP address 2. Unblock, auth. stuff 3. Uncheck Wired Interface checkbox 4. It reappears! 5. /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 line is gone 6. Uncheck checkbox again 7. It stays clean! 8. /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 line is still gone (as intended) 9. Check checkbox for Wired Interface 10. It stays checked as intended, and auto eth0 reappears in /etc/network/i= nterfaces, however now it has at least 5 empty lines between interface conf= iguration and auto eth0 (cosmetic bug, but strange anyway). It is not dangerous as this bug, but something very very fishy happens there and this feels like can be triggered from something else. Also notice that this behavior is for both - standard and patched debs, so patch still must go in, at least to fix default behaviour.

I had no problems on my system. Plus, I didn't modify the dependencies of the package. It was a direct backport, just added a patch, nothing else. Perhaps you should update your system fully. The version of the libcairo2 package on my system is 1.6.0-0ubuntu1, obtained from Ubuntu's repositories. The dependency is (>=3D 1.6.0). Anyway, I believe we should really get this over and done with ASAP, so that it can enter Hardy. I'm still confused as to why a certain someone declined for Hardy. Seems pretty serious to me. Either way there's nothing more I can do as of now so I'll raise it in the #ubuntu irc channels tomorrow. --===============6237098085239410899== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: Kjell Braden (afflux) Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:01:35 -0000 Message-Id: <20080413140136.6559.98078.malone@potassium.ubuntu.com> Additionally, I experienced the same behaviour (the checkbox one) as Peteris explained. Since I'm totally unfamiliar with g-s-t and NM, I don't know where to look and whether it's a different issue and so on and I think someone from the desktop team should review those changes. --===============6237098085239410899== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: =?utf-8?b?UMSTdGVyaXMgS3JpxaFqxIFuaXMgKHBlY2lzay1nbWFpbCk=?= Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:07:19 -0000 Message-Id: <20080413140719.11001.73217.malone@gandwana.canonical.com> hyperair, my apologies, I didn't have updated system, libcairo 1.6.0 rolled in last several days :) --===============6237098085239410899== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: =?utf-8?b?UMSTdGVyaXMgS3JpxaFqxIFuaXMgKHBlY2lzay1nbWFpbCk=?= Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:13:08 -0000 Message-Id: <20080413141308.10860.10614.malone@gandwana.canonical.com> hyperair, getting it in Hardy practically means bombing #ubuntu-devel with requests, but James Westby promised to take a look at it tomorrow, so probably best is just test your deb till death and provide test results here so anyone could be sure this fix doesn't 'unfix' anything else :) Cheers man, thanks for the work. --===============6237098085239410899== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: Chow Loong Jin (hyperair) Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:17:51 -0000 Message-Id: <20080413141751.7446.32987.malone@potassium.ubuntu.com> @Peteris Krisjanis: No worries.
