Either switch to something other than wicd (network-manager is a popular
alternative), or help the maintainers of wicd to fix the release-critical
bugs that prevent it from being installed in unstable (#885140, #938823,
#956159, #947589).
The underlying problem is that wicd was developed against Python 2, GTK 2
and PyGTK, which are no longer maintained (PyGTK was deprecated in early
2011 and was recently removed from Debian).
The upstream bug requesting porting to Python 3, GTK 3 and PyGI is
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/878417>, but it was opened in late
2011 and does not seem to have had significant activity since then.
