Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6 Severity: normal Tags: upstream According to systemd.special(7), network management services like wicd should be ordered After=network-pre.target. This provides a synchronization point that can be used by components like iptables and firewalld, to make sure that they have the opportunity to get firewall rules into place (if installed and configured) before the network comes up. This was recently discussed on the systemd-devel mailing list: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2020-June/044784.html
For example, NetworkManager.service in NetworkManager implements this, and so do networking.service and [email protected] in ifupdown, and systemd-networkd.service in systemd. However, wicd doesn't currently seem to do so. An untested pseudo-patch: --- other/wicd.service +++ other/wicd.service [Unit] Description=Wicd a wireless and wired network manager for Linux Wants=network.target Before=network.target +After=network-pre.target Documentation=man:wicd(8) (I don't use wicd myself and I haven't tested this; this bug report is based on source code inspection.)
