Package: gparted Version: 1.8.0-1 Followup-For: Bug #962214 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, I'm using debian without elogind and found that it was in fact very easy to use gparted without pkexec (which is listed as required dependency). (Very easy when you know you can build dummy package to ignore not really required deps...) All I had to do was make a dummy "pkexec" package and replace its binary by a one liner script doing "sudo $@" (or with doas but with a xhost option). I feel like a good alt. solution for gparted would be to simply check for pkexec and if it's not here, just go for login using doas or sudo (in a console using "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator" for instance). Another solution would be to warn "need to be run as root or install pkexec" ? I hope you'll consider it at least ! -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 7.0.13+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: OpenRC (via /run/openrc), PID 1: init LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gparted depends on: ii dummy-pkexec [pkexec] 1.0 ii gparted-common 1.8.0-1 ii libatkmm-1.6-1v5 2.28.5-1 ii libc6 2.42-17 ii libcairomm-1.0-1v5 1.14.6-1 ii libgcc-s1 16.1.0-2 ii libglib2.0-0t64 2.88.2-1 ii libglibmm-2.4-1t64 2.66.9-1 ii libgtk-3-0t64 3.24.52-1 ii libgtkmm-3.0-1t64 3.24.11-1 ii libpangomm-1.4-1v5 2.46.4-2 ii libparted-fs-resize0t64 3.7-1 ii libparted2t64 3.7-1 ii libsigc++-2.0-0v5 2.12.1-4+b1 ii libstdc++6 16.1.0-2 ii libuuid1 2.42.2-1 gparted recommends no packages.
