Public bug reported:

In the current wnettools.py the resolvconf command is formed thus

    cmd = [self.resolvconf_cmd, '-a', self.iface]

The last argument is the name of the record used to store the
information. The convention is to use the record name IFACE.SOURCE where
IFACE is the name of the interface and CONFIGURER is the name of the
program sending the information, in this case 'wicd'. The two strings
are connected with a dot. Thus if the interface name is 'eth0' the
resolvconf record name should be 'eth0.wicd' and the resolvconf command
should be

    /sbin/resolvconf -a eth0.wicd

Please change wicd to follow the convention. E.g., change the code
quoted above to the following.

    cmd = [self.resolvconf_cmd, '-a', self.iface + '.wicd']
