I thought if you set up apt-pinning in /etc/apt/preferences that
should be possible without any major problems?

Yes, I have apt-listbugs installed and working here as well, yet I
can't remember any bugs for wicd coming up before the upgrade - of
course it was late in the night and who knows what I was seeing ;-)
Anyway, I removed unstable from the sources.list and tried removing
and re-installing wicd but I can still only get 1.7.0-2

thanks, 'apt-cache policy wicd' shows
wicd:
Installed: 1.7.0-2
Candidate: 1.7.0-2
Version table:
*** 1.7.0-2 0
700 http://ftp.ie.debian.org testing/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
hmmm... 1.7.0-2 is testing??? And no 1.6...?
Getting more and more confused here... - Any hints?
