Details
Description:
The wicd package in extra has a configuration file located at /usr/lib/wicd/data/wired-settings.conf. This configuration file has a [DEFAULT] profile and then under it just has two brackets "[]" by default. These two brackets cause parsing errors when you launch the wicd gui and have to be removed before the gui will ever come up. This problem might be upstream as well but the packager needs to remove those brackets before it is shipped. Additional info: * package version(s): 1.4.1-4 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: Install 1.4.1-4 version of wicd and launch /usr/lib/wicd/gui.py |

Poke poke. This bug report was left to idle, but seems like an
easy fix? Varun?

Apologies for the delay, just got back into town today. The wicd
package doesn't ship with wired-settings.conf, it is created when
you run wicd. I checked my wired-settings.conf and it seems fine
to me, and no brackets "[]". Try pacman -R wicd,then removing any
mention of wicd in your system (locate -i wicd) and then
reinstalling with pacman -S wicd.
