Public bug reported: When starting wicd via "sudo wicd -foe", I noticed that the daemon does not find the backup symlink in it's backup_location.
Replacing line 1705 in wicd-daemon.py with: if not (os.path.exists(backup_location) or os.path.lexists(backup_location)): Fixes the problem as it is checking now whether a backup file and backup symlink is existing.
