Package: python-wicd
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
After upgrading, I lost my wicd packages and wanted to reinstall those. Python
2.7.18 breaks it.
See terminal session snippet:
+++
jupp:|quellen/wicd > python2 --version
Python 2.7.18
jupp:|quellen/wicd > sudo apt-get install python-wicd

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-wicd : Depends: python:any (< 2.8)
Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
+++
After downgrading to 2.7.16-1 I could reinstall wicd and its dependencies.
Upgrading to python2 2.7.18 breaks wicd packages.
* What led up to the situation?
apt dist-upgrade installed new python2 version and removed wicd packages
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
downgrading of all relevant python-based dependencies to 2.7.16-1
* What was the outcome of this action?
wicd could be installed again, ll is running

There is no python-wicd in Debian Unstable or Testing anymore:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-wicd
What you reinstalled is the package from Debian 10 Buster (current
stable release).
If you want wicd on Debian Unstable or Testing, please add the
Experimental APT repo and try wicd from there. The GUI applet in that
version is known to not yet work again. (One of the reasons why the
Python 3 based version is still in Experimental.
Regards, Axel
