I had been working with Michael on this issue for a little bit, and
have decided that the best way to address this issue under debian is
to bypass the usage of gksu completely.
I wrote a small patch that checks for root permissions when gdebi-gtk
is first launched, and if they are not found it rec

I fully concur. It is ridiculous that this bug report is marked as
non-RC, as well it is ridiculous that we have a version of gdebi
affected by this
I disagree with the statement that this bug is non-RC.
I would be extremely surprised if the vast majority of users even know
that gdebi can be run as root, or that it has a command line version
that still works in spite of this bug.
This is because the purpose of gdebi is to install packages whe

If anyone's interested I've got a .deb package of the most recent gdebi,
with the patch included (no more gksu troubles in lenny). Ironically,
you'll have to use the command-line gdebi to install it.
gdebi_0.3.11debian1+nmu1_all_(gksu_bug_patched).deb
Description: application/deb
I don't understand why this bug was not fixed in Lenny. Lenny has now
broken gdebi-gtk. There sure was enough time to fix this bug. The bug
was originally reported in august. I remimded about this last time in
november. Simple patch which fixes the problem has been available long
time too.
I have
Are any news about fixing this bug?
I have repaired package according to the patch, however such solution
is impossible to name correct. Gdebi is a popular package which are
used by beginners and it is awfully Gbebi-gtk is broken

I'm using last version in unstable (0.3.11debian1+nmu1) and this bug
still isn't fixed. Please apply the patch of Mert Dirik which is, in my
opinion, really the right solution.

Are you sure you are using the updated version?
According to PTS it migrated to testing:

Well, actually in gdebi's case:
4) gdebi window opens and you can install package.
5) root password is asked (if not cached already)

gdebi-gtk passes --always-ask-pass argument to gksu but Debian's version of gksu
doesn't have this argument and it fails if it's been called with this argument.
So package installation fails. The diff below should solve the problem:
