Package: network-manager
Version: 1.6.2-3+devuan1

Installed Devuan Jessie from installer CD iso and upgraded to Devuan
ASCII.  I uninstalled wicd on ASCII and tried to install
network-manager.  The package install configuration fails when it
tries to find the udev service.

eudev=3.2.2-9 was installed during upgrade to ASCII and I removed the
transitional udev package.

The following network interfaces were found in /etc/network/interfaces
which means they are currently configured by ifupdown:
- eth0
If you want to manage those interfaces with NetworkManager instead
remove their configuration from /etc/network/interfaces.

I have merged the patch. New network-manager packages are in ascii

I can confirm that network manager now installs successfully and connects to eth0 via dhcp. I don’t have any wireless device to test with unfortunately.
