I have added a transitional wicd package (1.7.4+tb2-6+devuan2) to
chimaera-proposed-updates that, I hope, will help smooth this over.

I would be grateful for confirmation that it works to ensure an alternative
network manager is installed if you are upgrading from a beowulf system that has
wicd installed.

To test, before upgrading and when changing sources.list, also add

deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan chimaera-proposed-updates main

Note that is is important to use http://deb.devuan.org/devuan rather than
http://deb.devuan.org/merged.

Thanks
