Potential problem with esudo replacing pkexec
by Kiezel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XTWY)
There might be a problem with Bodhi's implementation of esudo replacing pkexec.
Use case: I've installed an alternative set of update tools from a PPA, that's owned by a former member of the official Linux Mint developer team:
https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspo...buntuplus.html
They install fine, as expected. However, soon installing updates with that alternative updater fails. I've asked the PPA developer to look into it, which he was kind enough to do.
According to him, the esudo replacement of pkexec in Bodhi, breaks on the first update to or reinstall of the policykit-1 package. Which, again according to him, can only be fixed in the distribution itself.
Could you perhaps take a look into that?
