Gparted can work perfectly well without gksu. Therefore I think it is not necessary to depend on gksu with "depends". "recommends" is enough, maybe even "suggests" would be enough.

I could state this vice-versa: Since gksu is not a dependency of gparted (and should certainly not be)... Upgrading from 0.4.5-1 to 0.4.5-2 forces me to install 8 additional packages (gksu and it's dependencys) which i'll never need. Gparted can be usefull on other desktop-environments than gnome, where one doesn't need/want stuff like gnome-keyring. Gksu is not the only way to gain root privileges. (I agree that su-to-root [menu] isn't either). A sane solution would be a "recommends" or maybe even a recommendation of (gksu || menu) . That would fix the bug (makes gparted working 'out of the box' with root privileges), but makes it possible to choice not to install non-needed packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
