[Bug 508089] Re: apt-file fails 'There was an error creating the child process for this terminal'

[Philip Wyett]

To reproduce on Lucid desktop:

1. Open synaptic. Search and find 'apt-file'
2. Select for installation and install

Once installation you will presented with a dialog box that asks you to
press a button and perform the update action.

3. Click on button 'Run this action now'

You will see a terminal appear.

What happens:

You see an empty terminal and receive the following error message "There
was an error creating the child process for this terminal"

What should happen:

This terminal should ask for the sudo password within it and once done
should then run the update process in this terminal.

Note: Running the command 'sudo apt-file update' in a new terminal does
work.
