Bug Description

Binary package hint: keytouch-editor

In Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy beta, keytouch-editor (1:3.1.3-2) installs with a menu entry that tries to run the program with su-to-root, which is not installed, and is not a dependency of the package. It should probably be using gksu instead.

Hello I am the developer of keytouch and I have received an e-mail to this bug report.
This is a packaging problem, so the problem should be fixed by editing the deb-file. Note the when you install keytouch-editor from source, then the keytouch-editor script runs keytouch-editor-bin via gksu.
So please do not wait for me to fix this, because I won't since I am not responsible for the deb-file (sorry but I do simply do not have time to do that).
