[Bug 1173013] Re: libgksu authentication mode set to su

[Brian Murray]

Looking at update-gconf-defaults we see:

if 'DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION' in os.environ and options.signal:
    # This is what happens when we are called in an obsolete postinst/prerm script
    # Do nothing, it will be done in the trigger
    sys.exit(0)

So when the postinst script calls update-gconf-defaults it just exits.

Title:
  libgksu authentication mode set to su

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “libgksu” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  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

  Workaround:

  Run gksu-properties and change the authentication mode to sudo.
