Package: gksu
Version: 1.9.4-1
Severity: normal
After trying to install gforge gksu authentication begins to fail.
I've seen that the problem comes specificly from gforge-shell-postgresql, which
depends on libnss-pgsql1 which on it's side depends on libpam-pgsql.
This causes somekind of interference because the message
"Failed to communicate with gksu-run-helper.
Received: Could not connect to database
While expecting: gksu: waiting"
appears when trying to execute synaptic as non root, as an example.
When you run from command line 'gksu' you get "Could not connect to database"
and then the dialog opens.
