Yesterday my ~amd64 machine updated python. I ran the |
| 2 |
python-updater and all seemed well. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
However, this morning wicd is failing. The first indication was a |
| 5 |
never-seen-before popup stating "Granted permissions without asking for |
| 6 |
password" (full text below) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I re-installed wicd in case python-updater missed it. No help. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The wicd log is also below. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Any help would be appreciated. |

thanks, |

Granted permissions without asking for password |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The '/usr/sbin/wicd' program was started with the privileges of the root |
| 22 |
user without the need to ask for a password, due to your system's |
| 23 |
authentication mechanism setup. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It is possible that you are being allowed to run specific programs as |
| 26 |
user root without the need for a password, or that the password is |
| 27 |
cached. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
This is not a problem report; it's simply a notification to make sure |
| 30 |
you are aware of this. |
