Comment 18 for bug 1854588

I have no idea what I'm doing here in terms of submission processes, but I attempted to submit a patch for this issue:

https://code.launchpad.net/~macg3/ubuntu/+source/gdebi/+git/gdebi/+merge/414211

I suspect I may have done something wrong in the submission process because "git-ubuntu import" is listed as the code reviewer. It was really confusing because there was also a bzr project for this package that is outdated, and it appears it has been moved to Git. Anyway, this patch fixes the issue by adding a separate python script that acts as the parent process for pkexec. Special thanks to Alkis Georgopoulos for all of the info provided above.
