[Bug 270584] Re: libnm-glib-dev missing dependency on network-manager-dev

[Martin Nowack]

so I updated to the latest nm packages, I removed the network-manager-
dev package, run configure again and it failed (see attached config.log)

The nice message:

Running the following: pkg-config libnm_glib --print-errors

Package NetworkManager was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `NetworkManager.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'NetworkManager', required by 'libnm_glib', not found

After installing network-manager-dev it works again, like a charm.
So NetwormManager is a dependency for libnm_glib at least currently. I looked at the current svn head of NetworkManager so it seams nm has not libnm-glib and libnm-util as dependency it is the other way around at least for the libnm-glib.
