Package: python-wicd
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch
On some wireless network with authentication, I systematically got an
error "Bad password". Thus I spent hours trying to find the problem
related to my password, with the impossibility to find the cause of
this issue.
With the wpasupplicant upgrade last week-end, it made clear that the
issue (solved with this upgrade) was not the password, but the TLS
version.
This error message should be changed to "Authentication failed" (which
covers more issues than just a bad password), or something similar.
Patch attached. (Since this is a translated messages, the .po files
also need to be rebuilt and updated.)

FYI, this error can also occur when the quality of the wifi is
too low, so that one internally gets an early disconnection.
Nothing related to a bad password!
