This bug was fixed in the package gdebi - 0.9.5.7+nmu2
---------------
gdebi (0.9.5.7+nmu2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Julien Lavergne ]
* Add a gdebi-gtk-pkexec executable to launch without gksu (LP: #189617).
* debian/control:
- Make gdebi depends on policykit-1 | gksu.
[ Simon Quigley ]
* Finish the policykit port:
- gdebi-gtk-pkexec isn't needed, root access is only needed for the
package installation and removal.
- Install the policykit file (create debian/gdebi-gtk.install).
- Modify the gksu commands in GDebi/GDebiGtk.py to call pksu instead.
- Drop the dependency on gksu and only depend on policykit-1.
- Thanks for the initial work, Julien!
[ Jeremy Bicha ]
* Upload to unstable (LP: #1719746)
* Stop building gdebi-kde since gdebi-kde is the last package in Testing
depending on the unmaintained pykde4 (Closes: #864963)
