Package: wicd Version: 1.5.7-1 Severity: grave Hi,
wicd fails to start while installing: Setting up wicd (1.5.7-1) ... Stopping Network connection manager: wicd. Starting Network connection manager: wicd failed! Starting Network connection manager: wicd failed! Processing triggers for menu ... Processing triggers for python-support ... There're two problems here: - the postinst stuff is a *mess*. You obviously tried to fix another bug there, but the result is an extra stop and start mess... - python-support compiles the modules with a trigger, so they are not in place when the daemon is startet. Unfortunately I can't give you a hint right now what the best way to work around that is, probably dh_pysupport needs a new option... This also smells like it would break upgrades...
