Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

Release 1.2216-1ubuntu1 is built against external fuse libraries, and
breaks mounting ntfs partitions as user (including external USB drives).
While previously it could be set suid root, as per bug #162863, to allow
mounting by an unprivileged user, with the change to external fuse libs
that no longer is possible.

This affects at least kubuntu hardy with kde 3.5.x and with 4.0.x, as
now it is impossible to mount external NTFS formatted drives using
dolphin/konqueror as a regular user.
