Title:
BackInTime karmic package missing depends on
SRU verification for Karmic:
I have reproduced the problem with backintime 0.9.26-3 in karmic and have
verified that the version of backintime 0.9.26-3ubuntu0.1 in -proposed fixes
the issue.
I've also verified that backintime runs as root when launched from the
menu to launch it as root.
This bug was fixed in the package backintime - 0.9.26-3ubuntu0.1

Accepted into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be
available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi,
I downloaded the lucid patch, adapted it to SRU format (target karmic-
proposed and version set to 0.1) and uploaded.
Waiting for approval right now.

Accepted Karmic nomination. The patch (adding the menu dependency) looks
reasonable to me. Please format it up as a SRU debdiff and upload to
Karmic. Consider this an ACK on the patch.
P.S. Comment #13 should really be in the original bug description.

Simple bug fix, no need for a FFe, hence removing the subscription of

Why don't you just change the starter to use gksu instead of su-to-
root?

If you use gksu you have to maintain separate versions of the launcher
in the gnome and kde packages. Using su-to-root lets the launcher stay
in the common package.

Seems reasonable. However, the launcher starts su-to-root backintime-
gnome and is included in the backintime-gnome package. backintime-kde
also has it's own launcher, while backintime-common doesn't include one.

su-to-root tries many different ways to get root, and respects local
administrator's wishes. It can leverage sudo instead of plain su. Using
it minimises dependency bloat for BiT (why depend on kdesudo when the
administrator wants sux?) and mean that the two front ends are
interchangable. The only
that is, a missing dependency on menu.

Is menu installed by default as part of a desktop system? If not, this
dependency may have other consequences.

No, it is not installed by default as part of a desktop system, which is
why this is a problem. It's certainly not invalid though, either the
dependency needs to be installed or the launcher for Back In Time (root)
needs to not use su-to-root. Leaving it as is is just broken.
** Changed in:
This is a packaging bug because of a patch applied in Debian, not an
upstream bug, which is why it's invalid in backintime but confirmed in
backintime (Ubuntu). Please leave it like that.
Ubuntu MOTUs: the following trivial patch should suffice and will be
applied in the next Debian upload, but
