** Description changed: The Back In Time (root) launcher as shipped in karmic calls the program su-to-root. This program is not installed on a base Ubuntu machine, but menu (The package containing su-to-root) is not listed as a dependency. + + Impact + -------- + On a base Karmic or Lucid system both of the Backintime front-ends have an undeclared dependency, which results in them failing to launch as root from the menu system. + + TEST CASE: + ---- + Install a base system and either of the BiT front-ends. Ensure the 'menu' package is not installed if it has been pulled in by another dependency. From the menu, choose to run BiT as root and no window appears. + + Fix: + ----- + The patch listed from git in an above post adds a dependency on menu for both front-end packages. Sponsorship is required because I am not a Ubuntu developer. + + Regression potential is very low. This fix has been thoroughly tested in + Debian and has some, but less, testing in Ubuntu.
