--- Begin Message ---Package: wicd Version: 1.6.2.2-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi! I'm having troubles starting wicd lately, it seems like some configuration file syntax has changed and wicd stops starting with it. This is the content of my configuration file, I never touched it by hand: #v+ [DEFAULT] lastused = True [wired-default] afterscript = None use_static_dns = False disconnectscript = None dns3 = None postdisconnectscript = None dns1 = None lastused = False broadcast = None default = 1 netmask = None dns2 = None beforescript = None predisconnectscript = None ip = None gateway = None use_global_dns = False [home] afterscript = None use_static_dns = True disconnectscript = None dns3 = None postdisconnectscript = None dns1 = 213.129.232.1 lastused = False broadcast = None default = 0 netmask = 255.255.255.0 dns2 = 213.129.226.2 beforescript = None predisconnectscript = None ip = 10.0.0.27 gateway = 10.0.0.1 use_global_dns = False [] #v- According to the log (which is sitting in a strangely permissioned directory: 1363?! what for?! ... and please chown :adm) the issue seems to be the empty block at the end: #v+ 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: --------------------------- 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: wicd initializing... 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: --------------------------- 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: wicd is version 1.6.2.2 463 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: Traceback (most recent call last): 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: File "/usr/share/wicd/wicd-daemon.py", line 1750, in <module> 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: main(sys.argv) 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: File "/usr/share/wicd/wicd-daemon.py", line 1714, in main 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: daemon = WicdDaemon(wicd_bus, auto_connect=auto_connect) 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: File "/usr/share/wicd/wicd-daemon.py", line 87, in __init__ 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: self.wired_bus= WiredDaemon(bus_name, self, wired=self.wired) 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: File "/usr/share/wicd/wicd-daemon.py", line 1330, in __init__ 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: debug=debug) 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: File "/usr/share/wicd/wicd/configmanager.py", line 40, in __init__ 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: self.read(path) 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 267, in read 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: self._read(fp, filename) 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 490, in _read 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: raise e 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf 2009/11/07 12:59:56 :: [line 40]: '[]\n' #v- Unfortunately, running /etc/init.d/wicd start doesn't give any hint, it even exits with 0 which is wrong (and is part of the justification for the severity). Removing the empty block [] from the wired-settings.conf makes the problem go away, but as said, I never hand-touched that file (yet) and thus suspect an error somewhere in wicd - besides that it shouldn't break like that. :/ Thanks!
