On a freshly installed raring system update-alternatives --display
libgksu-gconf-defaults returns:
libgksu-gconf-defaults - auto mode
link currently points to /usr/share/libgksu/debian/gconf-defaults.libgksu-sudo
...
However running gconftool-2 -g /apps/gksu/sudo-mode returns 'false'. So
we are effectively not using sudo-mode for libgksu. I haven't been able
to determine what is settings sudo-mode to false though.

Status: Expired => Triaged
** Changed in: gdebi (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Description changed:
When I try to install a deb file using gdebi (0.9~exp2), gdebi will not
accept my password. Install fails to run
When I try to install the Virtualbox extensionpack, Virtualbox
(4.2.12-84980~Ubuntu~raring) will not accept my password. Install fails
to run
But I can use my password to install packages via Synaptic. And the
same password also works in terminal when using apt-get.
I just installed Ubuntu 13.04
+
+ Workaround:
+
+ Run gksu-properties and change the authentication mode to sudo.
