Package: kde-full
Version: 5:77+deb7u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
On a clean install (hard disk has had its partitions changed) I installed
among others the base system, sudo, xorg, kde-full and synaptic.
Because I installed and sudo, my machine does NOT have a ROOT password.
Trying to start synaptic from the KDE menu results in a message box stating:
1. "The action you requested needs root priviliges", which is correct.
2. "Please enter the root's password ..." which is incorrect when sudo is
used. There is no root's password and entering the current user's password
results in an invalid password error.
The bottom line is that I cannot start synaptic from KDE.
Trying to start synaptic from a shell results in error:
(synaptic:3668): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

Add your users to the sudo group, then it will be treated as admin user
by PolicyKit.
The Debian Installer should do that automatically, when you install a
system with a locked root account.
