Description Radek Podgorny 2011-11-23 17:13:12 UTC

after upgrading to net-tools 1.60_p201111202031570500 the wicd (version 1.7.1_beta2-r7) is unable to get ip address (for both wireless and wired connection).

reverting back to net-tools 1.60_p20110820045617 fixes the problem.

after quick look through the logs, it seems to me ifconfig is to blame (don't know why, thou)...

tested on both x86 and amd64.

i suggest reverting the ~arch keyword from the offending version until things are solved.

...ask for more info if needed.


Reproducible: Always

same here ~x86, also masked it out.

Already reported and it looks like it has already been fixed:
