Right. I just mentioned it as it seemed to show that something |
| 19 |
had changed. |

I couldn't find nickolas in the bugzilla, but could find the bug |
| 30 |
in https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bugs |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
It is the 2nd one listed |
| 33 |
Summary Importance Status |
| 34 |
602825 wicd doesnt like python 2.7 High Fix Committed |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
(there are only 2 bugs with importance listed high) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
However version 1.7.1 (with the fix) hasn't been released yet. |
| 39 |
I am surprised since the released version doesn't work with |
| 40 |
python 2.7. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Should I file a gentoo bug to have them apply the patch (actually there |
| 43 |
were two given, but one seems to be preferred)? Am I wrong in thinking |
| 44 |
that as of today wicd doesn't run on an unpatched gentoo ~amd64? |
| 45 |

thanks, |
