Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdelibs5

kdesu asks for the root users password instead of the users.
It should be configured to use sudo as the backend or we need a KDE4 port of kdesudo.

Confirmed. This problem is affecting my system as well.

I'm using the ppa Ubuntu Gutsy backport version of KDE 4.0, on my x86 32-bit system.

This bug was fixed in the package kde4libs - 4:4.0.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
kde4libs (4:4.0.0-0ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Make kdesu use sudo by default (LP: #182319)
  * Don't exceed 80 characters per line, where possible
  * Changed descriptions to better reflect that these packages are for KDE 4
  * Changed Maintainer tag from Ubuntu MOTU to Kubuntu Developers
