Bug Description

Kubuntu Oneiric Beta 1 Testing: On the interfaces part of the widget U/I it says "We need NetworkManager version >= 0.8.9997 to work, found 0.9.0. Something seems bugged with the version detection. It does actually work.

So part of the issue here is that KDE_MAKE_VERSION shifts bits to make up an integer that will be comparable for version checks. Unfortunately, the large version number for NM 0.8.996 and all breaks in this case because the last number is larger than 255.

A similar issue exists for CMake's macro_ensure_version, discovered while testing the fix.

So I've done a patch here to require NM 0.9.0 where the version gets checked, which is less intrusive than changing code in Cmake and KDE's macros (and in reality, not sure exactly how it would be best fixed there).

---------------
networkmanagement (0.9~svngit.nm09.20110610.0c83d8-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/nm_versions_comparison.patch: workaround version checking
    issues in UI (and in build...) by specifying a slightly higher minimum
    version number for NM libraries. (LP: #838099)
