Bug#611343: gksu: Click on synaptic (from update lenny to squeeze) nothing happens!

[Werner_Findeiß]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.2-5
Severity: important

First I updated my system from "Lenny" to "Squeeze" and when I click on the
item
"Synaptic" with my mouse nothing happens!!!

Second I start it from the gnome-terminal with the following command:

su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic

I get the message:

(process:2842): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
   Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(gksu:2842): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed


Third I am in the group "adm" and my rights are:

ls -l /usr
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   12288 24. Jan 10:21 sbin

As well my kernel 2.6.32 as the kernel 2.6.37 have the same problem.


Versions:

gksu 2.0.2-5
synaptic 0.70~pre1+b1


Hope you can help me and others with that problem.


Sorry for that bad English;-(


Kind regards
Werner Findeiß
