Linux Distribution

Raspbian Buster

What happened

I installed KlipperScreen using kiauh, chose xorg, network-manager was also installed.

What did you expect to happen

network-manager not to be installed

How to reproduce

Install KlipperScreen on a system without x, wayland or network-manager, I guess.

Additional information

This may not be a bug at all but because it is a bit insidious I think it might be helpful as documentation in case more people experience this problem. I just installed KlipperScreen in an existing kiauh/rasbpian buster installation, which pulled in xorg, which I believe also pulled in network-manager (via transitive dependency?). This triggered this issue: https://github.com/KlipperScreen/KlipperScreen/issues/1319

This was fixed upstream and it seems kiauh installs KlipperScreen from the master branch, so that does not seem to be the culprit here. Anyway, because I, like probably many others out there use static dhcp leases tied to MAC-addresses, this will break your network setup. I solved it by sudo apt remove network-manager and order seems to be restored. Feel free to close this issue if this is intended behavior.
