Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gksu
Attempt to launch a GUI administrative app such as Synaptic with current
updates for Feisty (not sure when this first appeared).
You will be prompted for a password, and upon entering it, the password will
not be accepted - the "Granting Administrative Rights" window will show up in
gnome-panel briefly, and then you will be returned to the prompt, "Incorrect
Password".
Meanwhile, your password will work for login and cli sudo.
If launched from a command line, this is the output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu synaptic
sn_launcher_context_initiate called twice for the same SnLaunchContext
Again, the version info is: Installed: 2.0.0-1ubuntu1, in latest 7.04
"Feisty" (as of 23 November 2006).
** Affects: gksu (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
