[Bug 602825] Re: wicd doesnt like python 2.7

[Roger Smith]

Just installed openSUSE 11.4 and while trying to install wicd get
"nothing provides python(abi) = 2.6 needed by wicd-1.7.0-7.2.i586"

Whether this is specifically connected with the above problem or not I
don't know but 11.4 is using Python 2.7.
