aptitude update of network-manager fails
Updated my Sid system tonight and got a failure on network manager.
I tried to reinstall using dpkg but no go.
root@frank-debian:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i
network-manager_0.9.8.8-4_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 178591 files and directories currently installed.)

It's unpacking over itself because it was already installed but not
configured by aptitude.
Anybody else with the problem ?
