Package: apper
Version: 0.7.0-1
Severity: important
Contrary to other package managers like Synaptic, apper launches a
process owned by the user without asking for root authentication. This
has advantages, but requires to prompt for credentials when trying to
manipulate packages (for example, when installing or removing a package).
Apparently, apper does not do that. Unless apper is run as root,
manipulation attempts fail with
You have failed to provide correct authentication.
Please check any passwords or account settings.
Failed to obtain authentication.
A workaround is to run apper with kdesu. However, this didn't work the
first time I tried it (the window came up grey). I'm not sure why, but
it's working now (after starting it with sux).
