wheres wicd?

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

i enabled all the community repos & still no wicd- it even fails if i install the rpm from its website-
networkmanager is fecal matter

#2

Really!
Well mine looks great and is sweet;)

As for your requirement. Patience I guess is the name of the game.

But there is nothing stopping you building it yourself
wicd - home

#3

Got mine from -

Index of /repositories/home:/dmitry_serpokryl:/Enlightenment-cvs-core-metapackage/openSUSE_11.2

for 32-bit you need -

gksu-2.0.2-4.2.i586.rpm
libgksu2-0-2.0.12-1.13.i586.rpm
urwid-0.9.8.4-13.3.i586.rpm
wicd-1.6.2.2-5.1.i586.rpm

this set has been working fine for me. I don’t add the full repo since it is one of the spots to grab Enlightenment and I don’t care for some of the changes that come about on my system for other packages there. :slight_smile:

#4

Sweet!
Now I can choose wicd, check dependencies manually & see them all report OK, and still keep my wicd fail due to unmet dependencies!
Woo-Hoo!
Thanks nonetheless.

As for building, that’s for source distros-

Right now ifupdown works.

I can’t upgrade (just switched from 11.1 to 11.2).
Input/output errors.
I’m using 64bit release.

I’ll wait a little bit more.

This is the exact error I get trying to update the wicd package:

“Packagewicd could not be downloaded (input/output error)”

Error: IO:Failed to provide Package wicd-1.6.2.2-5.1. Do you want to retry retrieval?

I fixed downloading rpms through web browser, and installing them “by hand”.

Bye, bye.
