wicd seems to ship SysV init script only. I assume you haven't created
your own native wicd.service file in /etc/systemd/system?

What's the output of
systemctl status wicd.service

and

ls -la /etc/rc?.d/???wicd

The systemd-analyze dump which is attached to this bug report doesn't
contain any information about wicd, so I assume you filed the bug report
on a different machine.
