Ubuntu - Dependency is not satisfiable: gksu

Hi

There is a dependency issue on Ubuntu 18.04, gksu was Removed From Ubuntu. Is there any solution ?

I have the same issue here, tried to fix it with apt upgrade --fix-broken but still shown:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sentinel : Depends: libgconf2-4 but it is not installable
            Depends: gksu but it is not installable

gksu has been deprecated. It's not longer part of mainline Debian, Ubuntu 18.04 and most all other Linux distros. Devs should use an alternative like pkexec.

You might want to address this, but for the time being users facing this might find the following useful: Here's the error I saw:

sudo dpkg -i '/home/usr/Downloads/Sentinel_0.1.4_amd64.deb' 
Selecting previously unselected package sentinel.
(Reading database ... 212333 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of sentinel:

dpkg: error processing package sentinel (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

Which was solved by installing shadow socks manually sudo apt install shadowsocks-libev, and then sudo apt --fix-broken install. So, you might want to install the unmet dependencies manually if fix broken isn't working.
