Hm, haven't noticed that one, but that is probably because I got rid of 
NetworkManager some time ago.

Are you actually using functionality provided by NetworkManager?  If 
not, remove it and update wireless-tools (if you have wireless in the 
box, if not get rid of that one too).  If you are actually using 
NetworkManager features, you'll have to wait until this dependency 
problem is resolved (I wouldn't be surprised to see update for 
NetworkManager as soon as today or tommorow, but you never know, it 
might take longer).  There's no workaround.  Forcing the update of 
wireless-tools would likely cause NetworkManager to stop functioning.
