[Bug 63895] Re: time-admin, menu items as installed in edgy does not gksu, and so fails

[Adrian Harvey]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 59946 ***

Though not an exact duplicate, 59946 did give me the answer to the
problem - the configuration daemon needed restarting after creating the
admin group (which happened when I shut down for the night...)  I hadn't
realised there was a daemon for these tasks now.  I guess it makes more
sense than requiring a root password for a clock change (yes, I know the
security implications of anyone being able to tweak the clock, but most
desktop users can't understand why they shouldn't be able to set the
time!)

So, the real bug here is that the upgrade process does not ensure the
creation of an admin group.   I would also note that the privilege
settings in users-admin does not complain about the problem, and
indicates falsely that a user can "administer the system" when the admin
group does not exist.
