Package: kdelibs Version: 4:3.5.5a-1 ---
Immediately prior to upgrading kdelibs-related packages (kdelibs, kdelibs-data, kdelibs4-dev, kdelibs4-doc, kdelibs4c2a) from version 4:3.5.4-3, I was able to successfully use the kdesu dialog to launch a konqueror window as root. I then upgraded to version 4:3.5.5a-1 of the above packages. As near as I could tell, everything else worked fine except I could no longer use the kdesu dialog; the dialog would appear as normal, but it rejected the root password and displayed an error indicating "incorrect password." Just to make sure I was entering the correct root password, I opened a console window and successfully su 'ed to root. I deleted all contents of /tmp and rebooted, tried again, and received the same error. I then downloaded and reinstalled the 4:3.5.5a-1 version of the packages, but I still got the error message. Finally, I downloaded and reinstalled the previous version of these packages (i.e., version 4:3.5.4-3), and I was able to use kdesu again. The bottom line is that version 4:3.5.5a-1 breaks kdesu. --- I am using Debian GNU/Linux (etch) 2.6.17-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 16:34:10 UTC 2006 i686; For KDE, I am running 3.5.4 --- - Thomas Long -- Using Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
