Bug Description
gksu has been deprecated and unmaintained for several years. It is recommended for app developers to use PolicyKit to run the specific actions that need elevated privileges instead of running the entire app as root.
Ubuntu 17.10's default desktop (a themed GNOME on Wayland) does not support gksu.
Therefore, Debian and Ubuntu intend to remove gksu soon. Please modify mythtv-frontend and mythtv-backend to not depend on gksu.
