[Bug 1173827] Re: Switch gdebi to pkexec

[Luca Falavigna]

pkexec is not fully compatible with gksu, and gdebi relies on some gksu
features to work. I'm not inclined to touch this area unless a tested
patch is uploaded to this bug report.

Title:
  Switch gdebi to pkexec

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Well gksu isn't default installed anymore & 64 bit users run into the su mode deal, gksu-polkit isn't suitable either
   So makes no sense to keep using gksu in gdebi.
