</span>Exactly. There's no gksudo package. It's gksu that provides gksu and gksudo.<br>
<br>
But gksu was deprecated a long time ago, but it was moved from "main"<br>
to "universe" with 14.04 (LTS-wise; maybe it was moved earlier when<br>
all releases are taken into account) probably because some DEs still<br>
use it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Deprecated it may be, but I don't know how else easily to run something like gedit with sudo permissions.<br><br></div><div>Colin<br></div><div> <br></div></div></div></div>
