I have managed to downgrade to 1.6.1-3ubuntu1. This has solved the issue for me. Not really a fix though.
To downgrade: -
edit /etc/apt/sources.list and added links to the karmic repositories for the universe group.
Did a software update.
Opened synaptic package manager
Searched for wicd.
Select package -> force version.
Selected version 1.6.1-3.
Applied the update. It downgraded successfully and resolved the relevant dependencies.
I then selected package -> lock version.
I edited /etc/apt/sources.list and removed the karmic entries I'd just added.
