--- Begin Message ---Package: gksu Version: 2.0.2-2+b1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Running gksudo fails with the following error message: sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo Examples of commands to reproduce the above error: gksudo synaptic gksudo zenmap Programs will run with appropriate permissions when sudo instead of gksudo is used as, for example, in "sudo synaptic".
