How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.2

Brief summary

If I install NetworkManager via DNF but don’t install qubes-core-agent-network-manager, NetworkManager fails to start. Since this configuration is useless, qubes-core-agent should block it via something like:

Requires: (%{name}-network-manager if NetworkManager)

Steps to reproduce

Run dnf --setopt=install_weak_deps=False install NetworkManager in a Fedora 41 template.

Expected behavior

qubes-core-agent-network-manager is installed as a dependency.

Actual behavior

qubes-core-agent-network-manager is not installed, so NetworkManager is broken.

Patch is trivial.

Pull in qubes-core-agent-network-manager when installing NetworkManager

The documentation says to install qubes-core-agent-network-manager, but
the system can just do it for the user by pulling it in via an RPM rich
dependency.
