Package: aptitude
Version: 0.5.9rc2-1
Severity: important
Trying to become root always fails in the TUI, displaying an error
message:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│E: Subprocess exited with an error -- did you type your password correctly? │
│ [ Ok ] │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Well, I did type my password correctly (before starting aptitude
actually, Aptitude::Get-Root-Command is set to "sudo:/usr/bin/sudo";).
The problem seems to be that the curses version does not know about the
option '--no-gui', as can be seen when exiting:
,----
| aptitude: unrecognized option '--no-gui'
| aptitude 0.5.9rc2
| Usage: aptitude [-S fname] [-u|-i]
| aptitude [options] <action> ...
