** 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
+ Impact:
+ Users of Ubuntu who install gdebi are unable to use it to install packages
because the authentication mode of libgksu2-0 is set to su instead of sudo.
+
+
+ Test Case:
+ 1) Install Ubuntu 13.04
+ 2) Install libgksu2-0
+ 3) Run gksu-properties in a terminal
+ 4) Observe "Authentication mode" is set to su
+
+ With the package from -proposed "authentication mode" is set to sudo
+
+ Regression Potential:
+ Little.
+
Workaround:
Run gksu-properties and change the authentication mode to sudo.
