Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install zenmap.
2. Try to find its desktop file to launch as root:
$ dpkg -L zenmap | grep desktop
/usr/share/applications/zenmap-root.desktop
$ cat /usr/share/applications/zenmap-root.desktop | grep Exec | grep zenmap
Exec=su-to-root -X -c zenmap %F
3. Try to launch it with `su-to-root -X -c zenmap %F`
4. Get
$ su-to-root -X -c zenmap %F
The program 'su-to-root' is currently not installed. You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt install menu
Expected results:
'zenmap' package depends on 'menu' package so it could be launched as root.
Actual results:
'zenmap' package does not depend on 'menu' package and could not be launched as
root.
