Description Jan Pokorný [poki] 2013-04-04 19:54:30 UTC

This bug (I believe it is) has already been observed as per
[bug 886671 comment 2], but I am missing either fix or at least
a dedicated bug report.

1. install gksu-polkit
2. as a standard user, try to use it (prerequisities: desktop env.):
   $ gksu-polkit -- pango-view /etc/sudoers


Result:

> Failed to run pango-view.
>
> Unit gksu.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
> See system logs and 'systemctl status gksu.service' for details.


Expected result:

Upon successful authentication with the user's password (not root),
pango-view program appears listing content of /etc/sudoers
(also demonstrates the root permissions as a standard user
is not privileged to read this file in F18).


Workaround to achieve expected result:

As in mentioned [bug 886671 comment 2]:
# cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/{gksu-polkit-systemd_unit,gksu.service}

IOW, path mismatch should be fixed in the source.

Can some proven packager please fix this? It's a very trivial fix.
