Package: pppoeconf Version: 1.18 Severity: serious pppoeconf is launched this way in /usr/share/applications/pppoeconf.desktop : Exec=/usr/sbin/pppoeconf
This would work if someone would run as root, but otherwise this opens a console which prints Privilèges du superutilisateur indispensables Veuillez valider pour continuer... In English, that would be $ LANG=C /usr/sbin/pppoeconf Please become root before running pppoeconf! Press return to continue... pppoeconf then exits. The desktop file does not indicate anywhere the requirement to run as superuser. This makes the menu item basically useless. You can see synaptic for an example of how to do menu items requiring root privileges (but note that synaptic has bug 532322). --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 990 testing security.debian.org 990 testing ftp.ca.debian.org 500 unstable ftp.ca.debian.org 1 experimental ftp.ca.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ============================================-+-======================= whiptail-provider | OR whiptail | 0.52.10-4 ppp (>= 2.4.2+20040428-2) | 2.4.4rel-10.1 OR pppoe (>= 3.0) | 3.8-3 ppp (>= 2.4.1.uus2-4) | 2.4.4rel-10.1 gettext-base (>= 0.13) | 0.17-8 sed (>= 3.95) | 4.2.1-3 modconf | 0.3.9 Recommends (Version) | Installed =========================-+-=========== locales | 2.9-25 Suggests (Version) | Installed =======================-+-=========== xdialog | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
