Current testing breaks wicd

With wicd-1.7.0-5-any and python-3.1.2-2-x86_64:

The daemon itself appears to start fine, at least that's what its boot message suggests.

Big rebuild of python is coming into testing.

wonder · 2010-10-04 17:24:05

wicd has been rebuild against python2 2.7 and doesn't have any connection with python

please fill a bug report about this issue

While trying to get networkmanager to work I disabled all the interfaces and dhcp for them in the rc.conf file and the wicd client finally showed up!

bjesus · 2010-10-06 15:48:40

replacing the write function at the end of /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wicd/configmanager.py with the following worked for me:

def write(self):
pass

greyhat.goon · 2010-10-07 03:55:50

Tried replacing the function as outlined above, didn't work.

Seems like wicd daemon isn't really being started.

[campbell@sherpa ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/wicd restart

Looks like Python 3 switch is a big bad time

jolinfire - this sub-forum is for people who are willing to use testing to help Arch progress. If you have nothing constructive to add, please do not post.

Also, there are patches available. We are assessing with upstream which should be used.

Hello, a new package wicd-1.7.0-6 was uploaded which was patched to fix most issues.
