--- Begin Message ---Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.4+tb2-1 Severity: serious Dear Maintainer, My home server is a headless box, administered from a vnc session tunnelled over ssh. It has no wifi adaptor, just a single ethernet port that is statically configured via /etc/network/interfaces. During today's package update my ssh connection died partway through, during setup of wicd-daemon. Last line was "Installing new version of config file /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/wpa2-peap ..." Then ssh refused to re-connect. I finally got re-connected after discovering that wicd-daemon had reconfigured eth0 to a different ip address. (Note that if this had been a remote box, then I might not have been able to discover the new ip address. Potentially this might lead require in person intervention in such cases). This behaviour is wrong on so many levels. 1. A package upgrade should never bring down an existing in-use interface without asking the user/admin first. (There is a reason that ssh takes care to not kill the existing session during package upgrades. Consider what would have happened if that had been a normal ssh session, and aptitude had stalled part way through asking for user input). 2. I don't think I have ever actually used wicd. Wicd-daemon should not assume that just because it is installed it owns all the network interfaces. It should only be touching interfaces it has configured/or the the user/admin requests that it configure. 3. Even if it needs to reconfigure all interfaces, and even if we assume that is owns all the network interfaces, it _must_ respect the admins static configuration in /etc/network/interfaces , unless the user/admin specifically requests it to reconfigure that interface. Personally I think it should respect any and all pre-exisiting interfaces, unless and until the admin/user asks for them to be changed. That means no touching of any interfaces it hasn't configured, including any interfaces that the user/admin might have configured in non-standard ways, including interactively. I have reproduced the above problem using "aptitude reinstall wicd-daemon", so it is definitely caused by installing the current version of wicd-daemon. I have been through basically the same problems with network-manager in the past. Issues like this are why so many people are hostile to that package. Thanks for your work on Debian.
