Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: important
Apparently gksudo:
- doesn't support "--" to end options
- deletes quotes
The result is some bad side effects:
- $ gksudo -- gnome-cups-manager -p "My printer"
=> displays the password on stdout instead of running
"gnome-cups-manager -p "My printer""
- $ gksudo "gnome-cups-manager -p 'My printer'"
=> open 2 dialogs for "My" and "printer"
The first bug concerns gksudo and gksu, the second one only gksudo.
