wicd-1.7.3 is incompatible with urwid-1.3.0

[Tomka-w]

Urwid changed API agin. This is what happens:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This was already mentioned in bug #1075399, but I made this bug to give it more visibility. The other bug was about api changes in 1.1.0

We've been made aware that Arch has a patch for this; https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/wicd-1.7.3-urwid-1.3.0.patch?h=packages/wicd. I don't know about its compatibility with older urwid versions.

This is the only patch that works for me:

https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/wicd/patches/curses_bitrate_fix.patch

Works with wicd 1.7.3 and urwid 1.3.0.

In Gentoo we fixed this differently:

Tomka, we already had the Gentoo patch you mentioned in the Slackware tree, even with that I still get this error when editing a new network with `wicd-curses`:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1146, in call_update_ui
    self.update_ui(True)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 97, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kargs)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1159, in update_ui
    self.handle_keys(input_data)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 1037, in handle_keys
    self.diag = WirelessSettingsDialog(pos, self.frame)
  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/netentry_curses.py", line 503, in __init__
    self.set_values()
  File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/netentry_curses.py", line 543, in set_values
    wireless.GetWirelessProperty(networkID, 'bitrate')
ValueError: None is not in list

So far this is the only patch that has helped:

https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/wicd/patches/curses_bitrate_fix.patch

And I have tried several!

Patch from void linux:

Fixes this error when editing a new network with wicd-curses:
