Andreas, My condition for wicd failure does not quite fit these conditions. Missing user was not the case.
I used the Update Manager to maintain 11.04 on my triple booted application testing Mac Pro (OS/X, MS XP, and Ubuntu 11.04). The failure occurred during a very large update due to a prolonged absence on my part using my "normal, never-deleted, sudo" account. Does this provide additional clues or make matters worse? Thanks for your quick response. This is one of the many reasons that I love using Ubuntu. Young H.
