My os is debian8.5.
I have disabled the wicd with command 'systemctl disable wicd.service'.

Code:

cat  /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Only two lines on /etc/network/interfaces ,my pc connect to router and router connect to internet.
There is an error info when to reboot

Code:

Wicd needs to aceess your computers network cards.

I'm not sure about this, but could it be a required dependency by another unit?

As I understand it, if the other unit isn't disabled it WILL cause the start of its required units.

it is disabled!
just to be sure you can also run

Code:

# systemctl stop wicd.service

and that should definitely take care of the systemd wicd.service.
