Package: gparted Version: 0.19.0-3+b2 Justification: renders package unusable Severity: grave
Dear Maintainer, This is how gparted currently looks. [$] aptitude show gparted Package: gparted State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 0.19.0-3+b2 Priority: optional Section: gnome Maintainer: Phillip Susi <ps...@ubuntu.com> Architecture: amd64 Uncompressed Size: 6,245 k Depends: libatkmm-1.6-1v5 (>= 2.22.1), libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libglibmm-2.4-1v5 (>= 2.44.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.0), libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 (>= 1:2.24.0), libpangomm-1.4-1v5 (>= 2.36.0), libparted-fs-resize0 (>= 3.1), libparted2 (>=3.1), libsigc++-2.0-0v5 (>= 2.2.0), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), libuuid1 (>= 2.16) Suggests: xfsprogs, reiserfsprogs, reiser4progs, jfsutils, ntfs-3g, dosfstools, mtools, yelp, kpartx, dmraid, dmsetup, gpart Breaks: udisks2 (< 2.1.5) Description: GNOME partition editor GParted uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables while several (optional) filesystem tools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted. Homepage: http://gparted.sourceforge.net It's only if I run it as root that I come to know that why it is failing otherwise it fails silently as shared in #658316 [$] 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. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gparted depends on: ii libatkmm-1.6-1v5 2.24.1-1 ii libc6 2.21-0experimental4 ii libgcc1 1:5.2.1-23 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-1 ii libglibmm-2.4-1v5 2.46.2-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.28-1 ii libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 1:2.24.4-2+b1 ii libpangomm-1.4-1v5 2.38.1-1 ii libparted-fs-resize0 3.2-10 ii libparted2 3.2-10 ii libsigc++-2.0-0v5 2.6.2-1 ii libstdc++6 5.2.1-23 ii libuuid1 2.27.1-1 gparted recommends no packages.
