Package: policykit-1 Version: 0.104-2 Severity: serious Tags: d-i In d-i, it is very easy to set up a system without entering a root password. d-i sets up sudo, and configures gksu to use it (by changing an alternative).
On such a system, I was prompted by policykit for the (nonexistant) root password when network-manager wanted to authenticate me in order to associate to a wireless network. I assume policykit prompts for the root password for other things too. If there is some setting we can make in d-i to new installs to make policykit use sudo, please let me know, and I will make it. It wouldn't solve the problem when upgrading existing installs that use sudo, but it'd be better than nothing. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages policykit-1 depends on: ii consolekit 0.4.5-3 ii dbus 1.5.12-1 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.2-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.104-2 ii libpolkit-backend-1-0 0.104-2 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.104-2 policykit-1 recommends no packages. policykit-1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
