Package: wicd-daemon
Version: 1.7.2.4-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Fails to stop properly

Hi,

I first noticed it when trying to replace wicd with network-manager:
wicd stop doesn't kill the wpa_supplicant it spawned. Even when one
asks to actually purge the wicd-daemon package. Not good.

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /var/lib/wicd/configurations/f4cae5ee62fc -Dwext

This even leads to network-manager's thinking the “device is not
ready” (the wireless one), meaning no network. Really not good.

Workaround:
  sudo killall wpa_supplicant
  sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart

Since the tech-ctte believes wicd and NM are on par, one should be
able to switch from one to another with no hassle, right?

Purging network-manager and replacing it with wicd-daemon is a no
brainer.

Mraw,
