Package: gksu
Version: 1.3.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
On a freshly installed Debian Unstable (that is, yesterday I have installed
Unstable onto fresh clean partition, by using Testing net-inst CD and then
changing /etc/apt/sources.list to point to unstable), gksu looks for the
file /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.
The only xauth I have is in the /usr/bin/xauth.
When I run anything with the gksu, I'm getting following (for example, I want to
run time-admin:
alex at vacuum:~$ gksu time-admin
sh: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: No such file or directory
sh: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: No such file or directory
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
(time-admin:14824): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
alex at vacuum:~$
Since all admin tools in the Gnome Menu use gksu (for example,
"Gnome-Menu -> Desktop -> Administration -> Time and Date" calls
"gksu time-admin" in the same way as I tried from the command
line above), no admin tool that requires root priviliges
could be started on my system from the Gnome Menu.
Thank you,
alex.
