Public bug reported:
I installed gnome-schedule 2.3 from a deb created to restore a version of
gnome-schedule to Ubuntu, after it was removed without providing a replacement.
Normal user tasks have executed correctly, both in test mode and automatically.
I set up a system backup job to run gnome-schedule 2.3 as root with Ubuntu
16.04.1 LTS. It did not run as expected, so from a terminal window, I opened
gnome-schedule as root, and tested it by selecting the task and running it with
the "run selected task" button. After the "Are you sure..." and "Note about
working directory..." messages, it displayed a box saying "Please select a
task!", even though a task was clearly selected. The error message shown in
the terminal window was "local variable 'execute' referenced before
assignment". Subsequent attempts to repeat the test without exiting the
gnome-schedule window displayed 'POSIXLY_CORRECT' in the terminal window.
