Glitch-y wicd-curses Install
 

Upgrading wicd-curses 1.7.0-2 to 1.7.0-3 with aptitude on squeeze.

First I noticed that wicd was installed, which is supposed to conflict with
wicd-curses and which I remember purposefully not installing.

But the upgrade asked to remove wicd so I just took that.

The install succeeded but threw errors attached below. Have I gotten myself
into something here? (Some script-heavy packages can be hard to back out
of.) I also have python errors in apt-listchanges.

apt-cache show wicd shows you that version 1.7.0-3 does not conflict
with wicd-client.



But the upgrade asked to remove wicd so I just took that.



Yes, remove the 1.7.0-2 version.


The install succeeded but threw errors attached below. Have I gotten myself
into something here? (Some script-heavy packages can be hard to back out

I ran into the same problem going from a working 1.6.2.2-4 wicd on
amd64 bit testing. As I do not do an aptitude autoclean, I simply
removed the, none working, 1.7.0-3 and then used dpkg to install the

1.6.2.2-4 from the archives directory.

With the current problems in squeeze/Sid I think autoclean is not an
good option to use.


On amd64 the 1.7.0-2 package did not work either. I falsely assumed
that wicd 1.7.0-3 package worked on AMD62 as it was now
wicd_1.7.0-3_all.deb. I was wrong. David has some more work to do, it
seems.


I think you mean the apt-listbugs package has ruby errors.
apt-cache version 0.1.1 seems to be working here.

Nope, I like both but apt-listchanges is the one throwing python errors.

Anyway, since those install errors, I haven't had a problem yet. So I am
going ahead with it!
