Package: gnome-apt Severity: important Version: 0.4.9-5 User: debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: su-to-root Tags: patch Hi, The menu item or .desktop file: /usr/share/applications/gnome-apt.desktop /usr/share/menu/gnome-apt uses an su wrapper other than su-to-root such as "gksu" or "kdesu". On Debian systems, please use "su-to-root -X", which will pick the correct wrapper based on what's installed on the system and the current desktop environment. Using su-to-root is also important for Live CD systems which need to use sudo rather than su (su-to-root permits global configuration to use sudo). This change still important even if the package is targetted at (or uses a widget toolkit closely related to) a particular desktop environment. The solution is trivial: - Exec=gksu /usr/sbin/my-binary + Exec=su-to-root -X /usr/sbin/my-binary Lintian reports this error as "su-wrapper-not-su-to-root".
