[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#943933: Bug#943933: wicd: After update/upgrade a new type of window appeared in my system tray concerning my wifi connections. Although, my ifi worked ok, the new gui did not appear the names of wifi networks. After some searching I found out that the names of my devices (wifi and ethernet) changed. I spend to much time searching for this. So I add the name under the wireless interface tab and got up again my wifi connections. Why the names changed? Please, "Show *mercy* to the (simple) users".

In future, please use the body of the bug report for the details,
_NOT_ the subject/_SHORT_ summary. Thanks.

dist-upgrade or just applying security updates?

If dist-upgrade: From Debian 9 Stretch to Debian 10 Buster? (The
Stretch kernel version and release 10.1 in the meta-data suggests this
combination.)

If it was a dist-upgrade from Stretch to Buster, this is to expected
and documented in the release notes:
