From 8be08f7cae8257af6866febc9d2a57d8d8601a51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Reisner Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 09:58:43 -0400 Subject: Revert "paccache: avoid subshell in calling runcmd" su is terribad. In addition to reverting, this also removes support for privilege escalation via su. If you want to use paccache as root and fail to comprehend how much better sudo is than su, then run paccache directly via su. Fixes FS#35173. This reverts commit 597286eb258f841dfc00f65474138fc6192f0092.
