I am trying to install nautilus-gksu in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS by sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu but I am having the following error. 

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nautilus-gksu

I also tried How can I install nautilus-gksu? but It did not work. Is there a way to install it.

gksu is now deprecated.

nautilus-gksu isn't a package for Ubuntu since 12.04. The binaries gksu and gksudo are in the package gksu.

Therefore install via

sudo apt-get install gksu
