Yup, this was already fixed both upstream and in -2. The configuration loss was
a bug of -1, so all people who upgraded to *that* version unfortunately lost
it (and I'm really sorry, it didn't happen here :/, or maybe I just tested it
the wrong way).
Upgrades to -2 don't have that bug though.

This was fixed upstream already:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wicd-devel/wicd/experimental/revision/663

The easy solution is to recreate the configfiles lost during the upgrade; that
should let you start wicd.

There are still a couple of fixes I made upstream, so probably I will release a
-3, so that you don't have to keep local patches around :)

Thanks, and sorry for the brokenness,
David

I haven't had the time to try, but after the upgrade (for which wicd
didn't work) and the downgrade to the working version, my config was
lost (wireless_interface was empty instead of being set to the usual
wlan0). So, I may have been affected by the same problem.

That's why DBus can't see it, now it makes a bit more sense :)

Would you please run "sudo wicd -foe" instead, and report back the output?

Thanks,
David

Correction.  Wicd is /not/ running:

sudo service wicd restart
Restarting Network connection manager: wicd.
pde@xylophone:~$ ps aux | grep -v grep | grep wicd
pde@xylophone:~$ sudo wicd -f
(drops back to a shell)

An strace of wicd is here:

Answering your questions:

a) wicd is running
b) /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf is present:
sha1sum /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf
8c9990b5d3fb4dfb06c242e69512d97cbb81ee79  /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf

c) DBus does not see wicd:

dbus-send --system --dest=org.wicd.daemon --print-reply /org/wicd/daemon 
org.wicd.daemon.Hello
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.wicd.daemon was 
not provided by any .service files

d) service dbus reload does not help
service dbus restart nuked my X session, but did not help

On an unrelated note, should wicd depend on hal?
