Bug ID: 471542
Summary: When initial setup, do not require sudo when not
needed to install anything
Classification: Developer tools
Product: kdesrc-build
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: setup wizard
Assignee: mp...@kde.org
Reporter: ash...@linuxcomp.ru
Target Milestone: ---
On Arch Linux, when you run `./kdesrc-build --initial-setup`, you get the
message:
```
- Installing system packages for arch...
Installing packages for arch/unknown

```
After that it requires to enter sudo password.
It can be improved. It can check if packages are already installed and not
actually needed. So that you do not need to enter the password.
More of that, it starts to update the whole system (-Syu), and it may not be
wanted. Can you please remove the "u"?
