Bug#663698: debian-installer-launcher: .desktop file requires the su-to-root command, which is not installed as dependency
Package: debian-installer-launcher
Version: 10
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I've added debian-installer-launcher to the package list of a debian-live image
based on wheezy with gnome; when trying to run it the system complains that the command
su-to-root is missing.
The relevant line in /usr/share/applications/debian-installer-launcher.desktop is:
Exec=su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher
Directly launching debian-installer-launcher using sudo seems to work.
Manually installing the ``menu`` package provides the su-to-root command,
which seems to solve the problem.
