I reckon that the libgksu patch was part of those 106. -- update-manager fails to bring up the password prompt for root privileges https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
