The wicd-gtk was removed from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repositories because of Python 2 deprecation.

But you still can install it if you download packages manually from 19.10:

mkdir -p ~/Downloads/wicd cd ~/Downloads/wicd wget wget wget wget wget sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ./*.deb sudo apt-get install ./*.deb # second time for correct configuration

and then use it.
