[Python-apps-team] Bug#514778: fix for wicd install/removal in chroot environments

[Steffen Moeller]

Package: wicd
Version: 1.5.9-1
Followup-For: Bug #514778

Hello,

postinst and postrm check for dbus to be installed. But what they should test for is if the daemon is actually running. Here my proposal for a fix.

Thanks and regards

Steffen
