Looks like DBUS daemon is not running at first glance.

Are you starting WICD according to the info file with command 'sudo wicd-start' ?

Yes. I just started getting the dbus messages after last night's update.

I'll delete dbus and download it again.

Make sure that all of the extensions are up to date.

OK that didn't help...

As far as I know, they are all up to date as last night I used tce-update which does all it finds in batch mode.

Looks like I may have to delete absolutely everything and start from scratch to make sure there isn't something that was skipped for whatever reason.

Is there some way dbus should be started?

Yes:

Quote
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus [start|stop|restart|status]

but it is done by WICD.

Advice is to make a clean install on USB stick and try it.

OK I'll report back when I have done that. It may take a day or so.

Previous version of pygobject.tcz was restored in the repository rolling back faulty update made on February 23. Tested, WICD now works again.

Right, pygobject did not fix my problem so I started fresh and now it's OK again.
