Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
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-managerand order seems to be restored. Feel free to close this issue if this is intended behavior.
