Package: update-manager-gnome Version: 0.200.5-2.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Let's suppose you installed Debian 7 "Wheezy" (the stable branch) with the desktop environment XFCE, instead of the default Gnome 3. Now if you install the package update-notifier, it will install other dependent packages like "update-manager-gnome". This will create a voice in the applications menu for the update-manager but... If you click on it, it will ask you a password, but after inserting the pwd, the program will close immediately. I think the problem is that the program launcher created in the XFCE applications menu should be executed with gksudo prefix (and actually it is not). For now, to solve the problem you have to modify the launcher manually so that it executes "gksudo /usr/bin/update-manager" instead of just "/usr/bin/update- manager". -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages update-manager-gnome depends on: ii gconf2 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gksu 2.0.2-6 ii python 2.7.3-4+deb7u1 ii python-dbus 1.1.1-1 ii python-gconf 2.28.1+dfsg-1 ii python-gobject 3.2.2-2 ii python-gtk2 2.24.0-3+b1 ii python-support 1.0.15 ii python-vte 1:0.28.2-5 ii update-manager-core 0.200.5-2.1 update-manager-gnome recommends no packages.
