Yes, we know, everything is easy and straightforward, especially when
somebody else should take care of it while you are busy with other
more important business :)

Anyway, there is an amended wicd package in ascii-proposed
(1.7.4+tb2-4+devuan1) with a hard dep on net-tools. The package should
be in pkgmaster.devuan.org in a few minutes. Please test it and report
any regression.

It's quite hilarious that I ended up maintaining both wicd and
network-manager for Devuan, given that I wrote setnet exclusively
because I did not want to have anything to do with wicd and
network-manager (and I haven't used either in the last 8+ years)... :P
