You are right. The policy won't be decided by this bug. I have provided
two different debdiffs. One of them uses gksu, and the other uses su-to-
root. I feel there is no point in further debate over which is the
better solution. We should let a MOTU make the final decision about
which debdiff shoul

Yes, I know that. I've just put it on top of my selection, because it
tries to detect the currently running desktop environment, and so
Let me try to clear some things up. su-to-root "will automatically call

So my proposal is this:

It tries su-to-root, gksu and kdesudo in this order, (although I don't

it opens x-terminal-emulator with plain sudo.

@Hewus:
If menu will be the standard for that in the future, say in Intrepid, then it
will certainly be o.k, and maybe a better solution than now. But currently,
this would be a weird exception. Everything else uses gksu in their .desktop
files on Ubuntu, be it wireshark-comparable tools like et
I posted before I read your last comment, otzenpunk. That is a great
thread that really clears up the situation! This menu package is likely
to become more important in future releases, so it is more likely to
already be installed on a user's system anyway. The last patch by Nathan

If you disable the installation of recommended packages, then you have
to accept a loss of functionality, such as the missing menu entry for
the wireshark (root) option. Wireshark does not require gksu/menu to
provide core functionality, so making it a dependency is inappropriate.

I think, I don't like that very much. I, for example, regularly disable
automatic installation of recommended packages, and I'm sure I'm not
alone. This is in this case no problem, bec
Hewus, I did not notice that gksu was listed as a Recommended package.
If we are replacing gksu with menu, then menu should probably be a
recommended package instead of a dependency. Since most package managers
automatically install recommended packages, we shouldn't run into any
issues. Here is a
Thank you Nathan for your patches! Now that I think about it, I'm not
sure which would be better. The gksu fix would avoid the need for the
extra menu package on gnome systems, and essentially revert back to the
old behaviour. I assume the reasoning behind Debian changing to menu in
the first place
As Hardy is LTS, shouldn't it be done in Hardy too?

There were two solutions suggested in this thread. The first was
replacing su-to-root with gksu in the .desktop file. The second was
adding menu as a dependency of wireshark. I have prepared a debdiff for
both of these suggestions.

This is of course a regression, and as such is pretty high-priority.
Especially since Wireshark is useless (except for looking at old
captures) without it.
This fix is even easy, letting Wireshark depend on menu.
btw, any (good) reasons for using Yet-another-Sudo-Replacement?

gksu has simply been replaced with su-to-root. This should be an easy
regression to fix. Can someone mark this as low priority? This simple

Gutsy had the root menu option but Hardy does not. Was this accidentally
or intentionally removed? Without Wireshark as root, you cannot use the
program for its primary purpose. Having to revert to a command is
unsatisfactory;
bye, hope you can help others though..

Right click the Gnome Menu, Edit Menu, see if Wireshark (as Root) is listed

If not, use the "gksu -u root /usr/bin/wireshark" command as a "New Item" and
