Bug Description

Hi,

a Debian user reported a bug against the wicd package [1] that the client does not handle a server restart gracefully. I was able to reproduce this bug, even with the newest upstream version (Debian has 1.5.2, but I tested it with 1.5.4). Do you have any idea about this bug? It would be good if you could CC the Debian bug tracker if you add information to this ticket. The address for it is <email address hidden>

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Patrick

I had actually been working on this a bit in the experimental branch a few days before this report got filed. I'm making good progress on it, I just need to carve out some time to finish it up and decide how/when to merge it to the trunk.

Hello,
what's the progress of this?
I'm working on 1.5.6 for Debian, and would like to include a patch for this bug :)

Kindly,

The work on it in the experimental branch is just about done, but the code in that branch is drastically different from 1.5.6, so creating a patch for it would be very difficult. You may have to wait for 1.6.0 to be released, which will include all the work being done in the experimental branch.
