[gutsy]knetworkmanager cannot be updated by apt because of the new naming convention

[Guillaume Martres]

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

knetworkmanager binary package has recently been changed from knetworkmanager to network-manager-kde (who was previously provided by knetworkmanager) but apt doesn't know that, so i had to do an 'aptitude install network-manager-kde'(who removed knetworkmanager binary package) to have the latest version of knetworkmanager, this should be done automatically, maybe knetworkmanager should be a metapackage depending on network-manager-kde.

Thank for that bug report; answered my question where that great applet went! I second the proposal.

sarah@LongPointyStick:~$ show knetworkmanager | grep network-manager-kde
Provides: network-manager-kde

Already done.

I'm reopening this bug. The package knetworkmanager doesn't exist for me:
rlipman@leviathan:~$ aptitude show knetworkmanager
No current or candidate version found for knetworkmanager
Package: knetworkmanager
State: not a real package
Provided by: network-manager-kde

rlipman@leviathan:~$ apt-cache show knetworkmanager
<nothing>

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that has been fixed now

The package network-manager-kde does not seem to contain the actual knetworkmanager executable. The man page is there, the documentation, the configuration, but not the executable. This is the list of installed files:
