Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-09-29 09:57:57 UTC
As explained in bug 425156, gksu is dead and should be replaced by direct polkit usage when needed (as was done with gparted). Thanks

I suppose we can remove both gksu and kdesu usage and just use pkexec everywhere instead?
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-12-24 09:09:22 UTC
Yes, that is also possible :), I talked about gksu because its upstream is deprecating it for a long time, but no idea about kdesu

Fixed in -r1, which will be stabilized soon.
