Hrm, I actually can't connect to my wireless network at home with wicd
anymore, but I couldn't find a solution to either issue. :-/

I'll contact the new upstream about this issue. If neither the new
upstream nor the anyone else reading this comes up with a fix, I'm
considering uploading 1.7.2.4 again to unstable, either with an epoch
added or with a "+really1.7.2.4" suffix to the upstream version.

Actually the bug has been reported 4 times upstream. A few of these
bug reports had patches. Took the one from ArchLinux, where someone
thanked for the patch and confirmed that it's working.

Will upload a new package soon. I though fear there are more such
issues in here... Any help is appreciated.

Your suspicion is right. It's wireless.

My advice (which I'm quite sure someone else has given here previously):
Use the OS you're most comfortable with. All of them can be adequately
secured, and the administrator is in just about all cases the point of

The workaround doesn't work here. wicd-curses crashes on every
connection. So I open wicd-curses, choose a network and press Enter.
After the connection is etablished, wicd-curses crashes. The error
message (list index out of range) was the same in both cases.

Thanks for the additional feedback.

The connection you've chosen, is that a wireless or a wired one? I
suspect a wireless one.

Thanks. Will have a look at it. Seems as if I checked changing
properties of wireless networks (which resulted in the patch
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wicd.git/tree/debian/patches/35-fix_ValueError_None_is_not_in_list.patch)
but not actually connecting to one as I prefer wired connections at
home for better backup performance. Sorry for missing that.

Package: wicd-curses
Version: 1.7.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

the new version of wicd is rather crashy.

I suspect the relevant "workaround" is to switch on "Always show wired
interface". At least I was able to reproduce that crash a few times
(but by far not always) if I turn that option off and there are no
wireless networks available either, i.e. the list of networks to
connect to is rather empty.

Pressing "R" in that situation also raises the chance of getting this error.

Indeed. I had to add a patch or two already due to that.

Hrm, not for me. I use mostly wicd-curses, too, and it works fine for
me.

The question is now: What's the difference? Do you have e.g. multiple
wired connection profiles or such?
