I have added a transitional wicd package (1.7.4+tb2-6+devuan2) to chimaera-proposed-updates that, I hope, will help smooth this over. I would be grateful for confirmation that it works to ensure an alternative network manager is installed if you are upgrading from a beowulf system that has wicd installed. To test, before upgrading and when changing sources.list, also add deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan chimaera-proposed-updates main Note that is is important to use http://deb.devuan.org/devuan rather than http://deb.devuan.org/merged.

Re: [DNG] Warning about Wicd in Chimaera
Yeah, it came out if the blue during one of the last updates. I've been running Chimaera during the last year and didn't expect any drastic changes. I tried to re-install wicd but the number of dependencies was too large. So, it was a pleasant surprise that once the interface is configured I can manage it with simple ifup/ifdown commands :) But I also found a wicd replacement, just in case I want to reconfigure wlan0 one day. It's a Perl script called Ceni and it's available as a package in Chimaera.
