Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.1~b3-1 Severity: grave Since upgrading to 1.7.1~b3-1, wicd-curses and wicd-gtk have become unusable. That's to say, I can no longer connect to any wireless network using either of these clients. Trying to connect to a network with either of these prints the following message to terminal:
RROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments () according to signature u'v':
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: More items found in D-Bus signature than in
Python arguments
Traceback (most recent call last):

Occasionally, simply starting wicd-curses causes this message to be printed:

I'm downgrading to 1.7.0+ds1-9 and but can provide additional
debugging information if needed (unfortunately, I can't guarantee
timeliness in doing so since it's exam season).
