** Summary changed:

- firefox-3.5 installation brings down network
+ network-manager uninstalls if no plasma-widget-network-manager is installed

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
  
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:        9.04
  
- $ apt-cache policy firefox-3.5
- firefox-3.5:
-   Installed: 3.5.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1
-   Candidate: 3.5.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1
-   Version table:

+ After upgrade from 8.10 with plasma-widget-network-manager not installed
+ to 9.04, any  subsequent apt-get or other package installation/upgrade
+ actions require network-manager to uninstall.  If the unwary user fails
+ to hit 'n', the wired-LAN network connection goes down.
  
- I did
-      aptitude install firefox-3.5
- and casually hit return <return> when asked about removing packages.
- 
- Result was that network went down.
- After some debugging, I was able to work around this, by individually installing the following:
-     libnm-glib0_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
-     libnm-util1_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
-     network-manager_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
