[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#901930: crash upon trying to enter "Config"

[Toni Mueller]

Package: wicd-curses
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Severity: important
Tags: upstream


Hi,

I am trying to run wicd-curses, but it crashes hard. I've culled the
control characters and the boilerplate ("About" etc.) from the
typescript:


root at nutshell:~# wicd-curses
... Not connected ...
