Hardy beta network manager cant upgrade

[Kreuger Burns]

For a few weeks now Synaptic and Update Manager have told me there's a new version of network manager in hardy's repos but it won't let me update because of wpasupplicant's version not matching. Someone needs to update it so that it will work. I'll paste what it shows just so you know.

network-manager:
  Depends: wpasupplicant (>=0.6.1~) but 0.6.0+0.5.8-0ubuntu2 is to be installed

I don't even know why it wants to use that as this connection is wired.

Thanks for your report.

Can you please provide the output of the following commands?

 1. cat /etc/lsb-release
 2. apt-cache policy network-manager

Thanks,
Kjell Braden

We can't fix this problem because it is not in ubuntu: you're using a non-ubuntu software repository.

[Kreuger Burns (car-crazy33)]

Okay I believe it's from Jonathan Riddell's PPA repo so how would I go about contacting him about it?

You should not use the n-m packages from my ppa. Uninstall them.

[Kreuger Burns (car-crazy33)]

I think the current one I have right now is the default Ubuntu one so I'll keep it and not use yours then.
