Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.2-9
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/gksudo
Related to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599233, but
that's a "wishlist" item, while this here is a bug.
gksudo not only swallows the stderr output, it even makes the program hang
if there's too much (a pipe full, ie. 64kB) of output:
This here:
# gksudo -- perl -e 'printf STDERR "%500.500s\n", "a" for 0 .. 100'
just gets eaten, but
# gksudo -- perl -e 'printf STDERR "%500.500s\n", "a" for 0 .. 1000'
will hang indefinitely.
I could rescue my long-running program by emptying the pipe via
# sudo cat /proc/$PID_OF_SUDO_BELOW_GKSUDO/fd/2
but that's unacceptable.
