[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".

Sorry, but "apt-get install upgrade" sounds like a mixup between two
apt-get subcommands.

It's either "apt-get install some_package_name" or "apt-get upgrade".

I assume, it's either the latter or you meant "apt-get install
name_of_some_upgradable_package".

Ok, so it was just upgrading a bunch of packages inside Debian 10
Buster, like security updates, right?

Please attach /var/log/dpkg.log /var/log/apt/*.log and (if existing)
/var/log/aptitude

This will show which packages changed recently and (to some extent)
what happened due to the package upgrades. And in general it will
hopefully help to figure out what exactly happened.

P.S.: Currently it looks as if the need to change the interface name
in wicd is just a followup issue. I'll reassign the bug report once we
figured out, which package might have caused this issue.

P.P.S.: Please keep the bug report in Cc.
