Details

When installing gksu, pacman attempts the following:

Targets (4): libgnome-keyring-2.30.1-2 libgtop-2.28.1-1 libgksu-2.0.12-2 gksu-2.0.2-2

However, when installing those packages, the following happens:

(3/4) installing libgksu [########################################] 100%
/tmp/alpm_k8kXhz/.INSTALL: line 4: usr/sbin/gconfpkg: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

Enquiring in #archlinux resulted in the following:
"it should have gconf as dependency"
"this issue is because we had gnome-keyring dependency to libgnome-keyring and this one was pulling gconf"

Installed gconf (Targets (6): orbit2-2.14.18-1 eggdbus-0.6-1 polkit-0.96-2 libsasl-2.1.23-4 libldap-2.4.22-1 gconf-2.28.1-1), then reinstalling both libgksu and gksu. No errors. But gksudo still doesn't work. Maybe there's another dependency missing?

GNOME and Xfce aren't installed. Current WM is openbox-session (openbox 3.4.11.2-1).
This task depends upon

Actually, gksudo is working now, it just didn't like the command being used unquoted. The rest of the bug report still stands.
