Intrepid alpha-2: adept-notifier fails to launch adept-updater

I get the same behaviour (clicking the icon saying that updated packages
are available causes a window to turn up in the task bar for a split second
before disappearing). In xsession-errors I get this line for every click:
Could not find 'kdesu' executable.
This is with an up-to-date intrepid.

This is a kdesudo problem that should be fixed by now. ;)

It's still not working for me. I've got kdesudo 3.2-0ubuntu3 installed, and that's the latest one available at http://archive.ubuntu.com/.

Whenever I click the icon I get the message «Could not find 'kdesu' executable.» in ~/.xsession-errors. There's a /usr/bin/kdesudo binary shipped which works okay (I tested «kdesudo xclock»), as well as a /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu which is a symlink to /usr/bin/kdesudo. However adept_{updater,notifier} doesn't appear to look for "kdesu" in /usr/lib/kde4/libexec, nor does it appear interested in using "kdesudo" instead. So it still doesn't work. If I make a symlink from /usr/bin/kdesu to /usr/bin/kdesudo, then it works okay - the adept_updater window appears at least (it goes on to crash, but that's a separate bug I guess).

So in order for this to work either the adept_{notifier,updater} needs to be changed to use either "kdesudo" instead of "kdesu", or look for the latter in /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/, or kdesudo needs to ship a "kdesu" executable/symlink in /usr/bin/. Since neither of this has happened, I'm reopening the bug.

This is with up-to-date intrepid with kubuntu-desktop installed.

$ adept_notifier -version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10
Adept Notifier: 2.1 Cruiser
$ kdesudo -version
Qt: 4.4.1
KDE: 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1)
KdeSudo: 3.1

This is on x86-64.

Your Adept isn't up to date. The latest version of Adept is 3.0~beta1.
the update removes most of the adept binaries because Adept manager, updater, and installer all live in a single binary. adept_notifier has been replaced with the update-notifier-kde package.

You are correct: there seems to be a new adept available.
"apt-get dist-upgrade" gives:
  The following packages have been kept back:
    adept gwenview

However doing "apt-get install adept" does install the new
version, removing a bunch of individual adept packages. I
don't understand why dist-upgrade didn't do this though.

I think dist-upgrade may only handle the installation of new packages, not the removal them.
