Bug Description
Binary package hint: aptitude-gtk
Install aptitude-gtk package in Maverick. Launch it from System > Administration > Aptitude Package Manager. Launching fails with the message:
Could not launch 'Aptitude Package Manager'
Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)
If you install the menu package (which includes the su-to-root executable) then it works fine. This package should be added to the dependencies for aptitude-gtk.
