This is just a couple of lines of code you all > included so PLEASE!! just take it out and you all do the backporting. That's not how anything works. KDE guarantees three bugfix releases for the previous version (e.g. Dolphin 18.04.3). Those three versions have already been released; there will not be a 18.04.4 release. If there was, I could backport the fix to that, but there won't be, so I can't. As a result, there is no way for me to backport the fix to the Applications 18.04 release. Distros are responsible for backporting fixes beyond what KDE provides via the above release schedule. If they don't care, that's their issue, not ours. I understand that you're frustrated but we can't go back in time and make this never have happened. It's fixed in the present and the future, and that's the best we can do. For the meantime, you're going to have to be patient and wait for Kali to update to Applications 18.08, or be more persuasive in asking them to backport the fix to 18.04. There's nothing more that KDE can do here, I'm afraid. --- Please everyone: this ticket tracks PolicyKit support in KIO. It is not a place for complaining about the inability to do `sudo dolphin` or open Dolphin as the root user in releases prior to 18.08. We cannot help with those here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
