Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6+devuan1.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Without using ifupdown and /etc/network/interfaces for my wifi card,
"ip l" looks like

$ ip l
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1b:d3:88:9b:8f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:24:d6:59:c6:68 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


Under this situation, wicd network manager, which is the default
desktop network manager in Devuan, shows no ESSIDs attached as
screenshot (in Japanese).

Then "Configure an ad-hoc network" shows that encryption is
supported only by WEP, which is now considered very insecure.
WPA-AES is not supported for encryption by wicd.
Simply, I cannot use wicd to configure wifi on laptop.
Instead I can use /etc/init.d/networking and /etc/network/interfaces,
so unusability of wicd is acceptable.
But I wonder what is the supposed GUI method to configure
wifi with WPA-AES encryption on Devuan Beowulf...

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
