Bug#1077913: gnome-remote-desktop: grdctl requires pkexec which is missing from Depends

[Sven Geuer]

Source: gnome-remote-desktop
Version: 46.3-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After having installed gnome-core in a minimal VM I started to
configure gnome-remote-desktop on the console per

  grdctl --system rdp set-credentials "user" "password"

which only returned

  Failed to start the configuration of the system daemon: Failed to execute child process “pkexec” (No such file or directory)

Looking into the source code [1] revealed grdctl indeed calls pkexec.

Not sure whether pkexec should be added to Depends or whether one
should replace it with runuser.

Regards,
Sven
