Subject: eagle: license file for freeware license not found
Package: eagle
Version: 4.16-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Installing eagle with aptitude or apt-get I get the following warnings:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

eagle: cannot connect to X server :0.0

At the first start of eagle I get the prompt to select if I want to use
eagle as a freeware or enter a license. Choosing Freeware I get the
error "Can't open '/usr/lib/eagle/bin/eagle.key'   Keine Berechtigung"

The problem is that eagle isn't started at the installation as X can't
be accessed from the root account. The chose of the license type should
be possible in text mode, as a typical installation is carried out in
text mode (sometimes even without a running X).
A possible workaround to get the installation running is the use of gksu
or kdesu for the first run (if available), but if possible, text mode
should be usable. At least, a warning (as a configuration dialog)
should appear with the instruction to run eagle once as root with kdesu or gksu or another variant to use X as root.
