On two of my 32 bit machines network-manager and network-manager-gnome will be removed on d-u.

For me it wants to remove the open connect client, which I need to vpn to work.

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openconnect-gnome
The following packages have been kept back:
  lightdm-gtk-greeter ppp
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libpython3.4-minimal libpython3.4-stdlib python3.4 python3.4-minimal
4 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 2 not upgraded.


Doing what ayla suggested, marking the packages to be removed on hold and then doing a d-u works, but ppp which is the culprit wanting to remove network-manager is not updated.

I am quite bored of this nework-manager problem so I descided to remove it now, but first I tried a d-u and now it seems to work.

Yes, d-u is done, network-manager was updated among everything else

[ayla]

Here on kde it still would get removed.

Maybe one just has to wait for the next mirror sync

[terroreek]

just did an d-u and network-manager gets updated now.

[ayla]

yup, ev'rythings fine here now, too.
NM updated and working.
