Package: wicd Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6 Severity: important When I tried to connect to a wifi access point I already used, there were no issues with my Android devices, but with wicd, it could not work. After several days, I've eventually found the cause. In the past, the AP was using encryption (WPA), but now it no longer does (for some reason). But wicd was still trying to connect using WPA, ending with the error message "bad password". This is non-sense. Either wicd should switch to unsecured[*], or it should immediately output a meaningful error message, like: "Encryption requested for unsecured access point".
[*] There should be a way to disable this, in which case follow the alternative. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-6 ii wicd-daemon 1.7.4+tb2-6 ii wicd-gtk [wicd-client] 1.7.4+tb2-6 wicd recommends no packages. wicd suggests no packages.
