Control: tags -1 + pending
Hi Darren, 2009-02-24 01:24 Darren Oh:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1 Severity: normal When Debian is installed with root login disabled, selecting "Become root" and entering a password generates the following error: E: Subprocess exited with an error -- did you type your password correctly? I would have expected Aptitude to be aware that root login is disabled and either use sudo to become root or provide an accurate error message.
For the reasons discussed in the bug report, this is difficult to detect. I changed the message so it gives more hints about what can be going wrong: │ E: Subprocess exited with an error, probably due to one of these reasons: │ - incorrect password, │ - insufficient permissions to become root, or │ - root login disabled Commited and will be present in the next release, so marking as +pending. Thanks for your report. -- Manuel A.
