Public bug reported:
Binaries in directories specified in $PATH (e.g. /usr/sbin) can't be run
because gksu-polkit doesn't do a path search, but only runs the absolute
path of the executable. For example,
de...@delan:~$ gksu-polkit synaptic
gives the error message
Failed to run synaptic.
Failed to execute child process "synaptic" (No such file or directory)
However,
de...@delan:~$ gksu-polkit /usr/sbin/synaptic
works perfectly.
