Description: GNOME partition editor
 GParted uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition
tables while several (optional) filesystem tools provide support for
filesystems not included in libparted.

It's only if I run it as root that I come to know that why it is
failing otherwise it fails silently as shared in #658316

[$] gksudo gparted
[$]

Although running sudo has the desired effect :-

─[$] sudo gparted

                                            :25]
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/90-mandatory.d does not exist. Please
install policykit-1

Aside from not telling what is needed, I am under the impression that
policykit is not a favorite in the Debian community, especially
systemd maintainer Michael Biebl. I did hear rumors of policykit being
deprecated and some part/binary of systemd probably doing that.

Maybe you could look into that as well.
