[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: wicd-daemon
Version: 1.7.2.4-4
Severity: normal

If I configure static DNS for a given WLAN (because the
DHCP-provided DNS doesn't work), wicd-daemon correctly sets up
/etc/resolv.conf (resolvconf is installed), but as soon as dhcpcd
refreshes the lease, it overwrites the DNS with what the DHCP server
provides.

I don't think that wicd can do anything, except by providing a
dhclient hook script, but there could be some clashes with other
hook scripts. I currently do that on my side:

  https://www.vinc17.net/unix/resolv.en.html

IMHO, the solution would be some specification independent from
the DHCP client. For instance, if there's some directive in the
/etc/resolv.conf file, then this means that the configuration was
set up by the network connection system and the DHCP client shouldn't
touch it. Or perhaps there is already something like that, e.g. if
there isn't ___domain-name-servers in the request option, dhclient
doesn't try to modify the /etc/resolv.conf file? In such a case,
a wicd specific dhclient.conf file could be used.

I haven't tried again, but it wasn't working in August 2015, and
the only change that was done since is:

  * Support newer python-urwid (Closes: #800693)

But as I've said, I don't see this as a wicd issue. If something
needs to be done, it is rather on the DHCP client side.

You could make wicd-daemon depend on resolvconf and then register
the static DNS servers at a higher priority than those provided by
DHCP.

No! wicd does not need resolvconf at all.

Well, but resolvconf would be a solution to the problem.
