NOTICE: As we are editing Python source code the spaces before the "if" are needed! As I have got saucy now here running, I'm not sure about that, but is that bug not fixed at the moment?

Can someone comfirm this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170589 Title: [raring] wicd-daemon fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wicd/+bug/1170589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
