Bug#710738: kdesudo: locked to using kdesudo even after dpkg-reconfigure kdesudo and choosing NOT to replace kdesu
Package: kdesudo Version: 3.4.2.4-2 Severity: grave Tags: d-i Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, After the last update, today the 1st of june 2013, kdesu stopped beeing available. Digging a bit, a realized that the executable binary is not in the PATH anymore, but in /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu instead, so I tried : - dpkgreconfigure, and then choosed NOT to replace kdesu with kdesudo. It did not change anything. - update-alternatives, but none was found. - create a symlink to the kdesu executable, but it simply does not say / return anything, and does not work. I really dislike that a user beeing able to change his/her own password be allowed to execute privileged commands using that same password (because a shell could have been obtained via a security flaw), so I avoid using [kde]sudo. This is why I miss kdesu a lot ! Am I missunderstanding something or do we have a bug here ?
