[Bug 1719746] Re: gdebi 0.9.5.7+nmu1ubuntu3 broke being able to open .debs on default Ubuntu desktop

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

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)
