just a small query - is gdebi supposed to be a drop-in replacement

I have used $ gksudo $GUI-editor $someconfigurationfile and it has
worked fine so far.

Look forward to know.

Bug#822595: Raising severity to serious for packages depending on gksu

[Mike Gabriel]

Control: severity -1 important

Hi Jeremy, hi all,

On  Mi 05 Jul 2017 02:21:07 CEST, Jeremy Bicha wrote:


Control: severity -1 serious
Control: tags -1 -stretch +buster

For the next major stable release of Debian (codenamed "buster"), the
Debian GNOME team plans to default to GNOME on Wayland where gksu does
not work. We do not intend to release "buster" with gksu. Therefore, I
am raising the severity of this issue to serious.

Please drop the dependency on gksu because the Debian GNOME team plans
to remove gksu from Debian soon.

On behalf of the Debian GNOME team,
Jeremy Bicha


I will drop severity temporarily for this bug, because we need  
caja-extensions 1.18 in testing (rather than some older 1.16 version).


Once caja-admin has landed in unstable, I will upload caja-extensions  
without caja-gksu being built to address this bug.


Hope dropping severity for now is ok. I fully get the need of  
caja-gksu removal and by bringing caja-admin to Debian, we have worked  
on that. However, the NEW queue processing currently take so long...


Greets,
Mike

That's fine.

Except you accidentally changed the status of some other bugs too!
