I've "fixed" it by taking care of the case where resolv.conf is a symlink.

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wicd-devel/wicd/experimental/revision/823

Please note the quotes around "fixed".

Unfortunately, where the daemon does the backup/restore operations, it doesn't
know anything about the interfaces -- or whether resolvconf is being used.

So, while I agree that the backup/restore must not be done when using
resolvconf, you will agree with me that just making a backup of the resolvconf
symlink is _harmless_. That's why I've chosen this solution (to solve it in a
cleaner way, I'd need to rewrite half of wicd...)

Thanks for your reports,
David
