I have managed to downgrade to 1.6.1-3ubuntu1. This has solved the issue for me. Not really a fix though.
To downgrade: - edit /etc/apt/sources.list and added links to the karmic repositories for the universe group. Did a software update. Opened synaptic package manager Searched for wicd. Select package -> force version. Selected version 1.6.1-3. Applied the update. It downgraded successfully and resolved the relevant dependencies. I then selected package -> lock version. I edited /etc/apt/sources.list and removed the karmic entries I'd just added. -- wicd connect to wpa2 wireless network bad password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
