Title:
  Application unable to detect internet connection, refuses to install
  anything

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After replacing Network Manager with wicd the Ubuntu Software Center
  complains that there is no internet connection and refuses to install
  software. I get around this by simply apt-get'ting the packages from
  the command line, but this is a bit of an inconvenience and appears to
  expose a flaw in the way the software detects an internet connection.
  I have a stable internet connection over wireless which other
  applications are able to use without any difficulty. I did not have
  this problem in 10.04. I also ran wicd instead of Network Manager
  then. I love the new Software Center and would like for it to just
  work, the way that most users experience it.

  I am currently using version 5.0.1.5. I have updated all of my
  software from the standard 10.10 repos today Oct 22, 2011.
