I disagree with the statement that this bug is non-RC. I would be extremely surprised if the vast majority of users even know that gdebi can be run as root, or that it has a command line version that still works in spite of this bug.
This is because the purpose of gdebi is to install packages when the user double-clicks on them in their file manager. This action does not launch gdebi as root. If a user is clueful enough to know about gdebi on the command line, then I don't see why they wouldn't also know how to use su and dpkg and apt directly. -- Sam Morris <s...@robots.org.uk> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
