[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#968033: RM: wicd -- ROM; Version in unstable depends on Python 2.x, Python3 version only in experimental so far

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: wicd at packages.debian.org

Please remove wicd from Debian Unstable (and only Unstable). The
version in Debian Unstable depends on Python 2.x and it doesn't look
as if upstream gets the Python 3 port in shape for unstable very soon.

The plan is that those who also have Debian Experimental in their
sources.list might be prompted to update to the incomplete Python 3
port in Debian Experimental instead of staying with the Python 2.x
version and blocking the Python 2 removal on their installations.

I will bring back wicd into Debian Unstable once the Python 3 port is
in an appropriate state.

                Regards, Axel
