Comment 5 for bug 1170589

He is talking about the workaround I suggested in my bug-description.
Just take an editor and superuser rights to edit the wicd-daemon.py at /usr/share/wicd/daemon .
If nothing changed so far in the source code, you'll need to edit the line 1705 into:
        if not (os.path.exists(backup_location) or os.path.lexists(backup_location)):

NOTICE: As we are editing Python source code the spaces before the "if" are needed!

As I have got saucy now here running, I'm not sure about that, but is that bug not fixed at the moment? I remember there was a update some weeks after I reported this bug.

Can someone comfirm this?
