[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1008998: pkexec: getting blank lines in a loop on the console

[Patrice Duroux]

Package: pkexec
Version: 0.105-33
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am using a GNOME desktop session (Wayland) and use synaptic(-pkexec) to
upgrade my system.
But once, I run it through a terminal and the output was feed by new lines in a
kind of loop
while 'sudo synaptic' was not.
Finally I found that this can be reproduced by any 'pkexec ...' command, for
instance 'pkexec ls'.

Regards,
Patrice
