child process "/usr/bin/su-to-root" (No such file)

Binary package hint: gui-apt-key

Intrepid gui-apt-key installed menu item attempts to launch using /usr/bin/su-to-root. This command does not exist (see attached error screenshot). The Hardy package for gui-apt-key uses gksu to launch, which does exist.

Please fix this. The problem is in the file
/usr/share/applications/gui-apt-key.desktop
in the line that reads:

Exec=/usr/bin/su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/gak

[Conrad Knauer (atheoi)]

So I just noticed in Karmic when I tried to run:

$ su-to-root -X gak
The program 'su-to-root' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install menu

Indeed, installing the package "menu" resolves the error (though doesn't get it working on my system, but that's another bug ;)

So really, this bug seems to just be a package dependency problem...

Please have gui-apt-key depend on menu.
