Hi,

I would like to ask for a SRU for gksu. The changelog is here:

+gksu (1.9.3-1ubuntu2.1) edgy-proposed; urgency=low
+
+ * debian/patches/01_quote_escape.diff:
+ - quote any " ' " charackters in the arguments so that it is
+ properly passed on to su/sudo (lp: #51419)
+
+ -- Michael Vogt <email address hidden> Tue, 24 Oct 2006 15:46:56
+0200

The full debdiff:
http://librarian.launchpad.net/4938156/gksu_1.9.3-1ubuntu2.1.debdiff

The problem here is that ' is used by gksu as a seperator but if a '
is also found in the commandline it is not properly escaped
there. This patches adds the required escaping. This currently breaks
update-managers call to synaptic in the "it" locale.

Cheers,
 Michael
