Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.2.3-1 Severity: normal I'm running a desktop system which does *not* have a Wireless interface but Network-manager (installed because of GNOME3) dependencies pulls in wicd-daemon unconditionally. This package installs a script under /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55wicd and gets run after any resume of hibernation.
However, since this script is not a configuration file and it does not provide any way to disable it, the script will run regardless of whether the system is using a wireless connection or a wired connection (as is my case). If possible, I would appreciate if the script would NO-OP either a) by detecting that wicd is not configured using some kind of system indication. For example, in my system, /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf is an empty (0-bytes) file which could be an indication. b) by making it possible for the administrator to disable it. This could be possible by either using a defaults file (under /etc/) or by moving the script under /etc/ and replacing /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55wicd with a symbolic link. This would enable adminsitrators to remove, if required, this script from suspend. On the one hand this would save some CPU cycles when resuming for hibernation, making the system startup faster and, on the other hand, it would avoid potential issues that could be caused by running /usr/share/wicd/daemon/autoconnect.py (or /usr/share/wicd/daemon/suspend.py) on systems that are really not configured with any Wireless interface.
