Replace libnetworkmanager with extra/networkmanager?

Hi guys,

My daily pacman update is giving me a rather scary list of stuff to do:

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n

It seems like this is going to break a lot of stuff.  Is this supposed to happen, or is something hosed?  Should I proceed?  I couldn't find anything by searching the forum or googling this issue, so perhaps I'm the only one or perhaps it's no big deal.  Anyhow, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Replace libnetworkmanager with extra/networkmanager?

Apparently libnetworkmanager and networkmanager were merged to be one package; and freeglut package provides glut, meaning that there are probably other packages that provide the same - there's nothing to be worried about.

Thanks for the help.  That makes sense.  But I'm still concerned--Do I need to worry about it uninstalling all the listed packages that seem to have libnetworkmanager as a dependency?  There's lots of key stuff in that list.

If you mean the 36 packages listed below, these will be updated, not deleted. The only package to delete is libnetworkmanager.

Bah--I'm an idiot.  I've only updated my system about 1,000 times.  Not sure how I got mixed up--thanks for the help, guys.
