Description August Hörandl 2013-06-19 06:06:52 UTC 
wicd comes with scripts to bring the connection up or down
 /usr/share/wicd/scripts/50-wicd-suspend.sh
 /usr/share/wicd/scripts/80-wicd-connect.sh

these scripts use
 /usr/share/wicd/daemon/suspend.py
 /usr/share/wicd/daemon/autoconnect.py

which have the first line
 #!/usr/bin/env python

If `env pyton` is python3 this scripts fail.

One solution is to add
  exec /usr/bin/python2 -O 
to the scripts in /usr/share/wicd/scripts

I don't know why distutils-r1 does not contain a function to fix shebangs... that's why I solved this with sed call.  In the end the scripts 

/usr/share/wicd/daemon/suspend.py
/usr/share/wicd/daemon/autoconnect.py
/usr/share/wicd/daemon/monitor.py

call python2 directly now.  Please test and reopen if you still have problem.s
