Yesterday my ~amd64 machine updated python. I ran the
python-updater and all seemed well.
However, this morning wicd is failing. The first indication was a
never-seen-before popup stating "Granted permissions without asking for
password" (full text below)
I re-installed wicd in case python-updater missed it. No help.
The wicd log is also below.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
allan
================================================================
Granted permissions without asking for password
The '/usr/sbin/wicd' program was started with the privileges of the root
user without the need to ask for a password, due to your system's
authentication mechanism setup.
It is possible that you are being allowed to run specific programs as
user root without the need for a password, or that the password is
cached.
This is not a problem report; it's simply a notification to make sure
you are aware of this.
