[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#909142: Possible fix?

[Sebastian Rasmussen]

Hi!

After some debugging and searching I ended up seeing
https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/1432423
where a proposed fix was provided as shown below.

I tested this patch and this fixed the issue for me.
If possible please apply this and pass it on to upstream
to be included in future releases. :)
