This morning I saw connman pulled in by a full-upgrade. I use wicd for wifi connection management. Now when I boot the laptop it comes up with wifi disconnected, and a manual exercise to connect via wicd is required. I thought it would be a good idea to remove connman, but it looks like it might be a problem:
root@n5110:/home/don# apt remove connman

I don't think I want lxqt removed!

Any ideas? Shall I just get used to the situation for awhile? It's only an annoyance, not a major problem.
