Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-2
Severity: important

I have a simple debug script in all four of the wicd script
directories, which does nothing other than

  echo "*** $IFACE *** $0 $@ ($date -R)" >> /tmp/wicd.debug

If I plug in a cable, the following happens:

  2016-09-22T10:37:14,069870858+02:00 *** cable *** 
/etc/wicd/scripts/predisconnect/local-debug.sh wired wired wired

/etc/wicd/scripts/postconnect/local-debug.sh wired wired wired-default

Please note how first pre-/postdisconnect are run. Why is that? The
cable had long before been disconnected, so while this is not a big
deal, it seems wrong.

What's worse though is that the pre-/postdisconnect scripts are run
*again* after preconnect and before postconnect, which can break
some applications, e.g. enabled ipv6 autoconf in preconnect and
turning it off in postdisconnect.
