Public bug reported:
I have already reported this, but as it's still not working, I guess no one
reads the bugs there… great.
Here is the usual problem: I download a package from the Internet, typically
Google-talk's plugin.
It's a package, I double click on it and software-center launches itself. I
ask to install/upgrade the software… and I'm facing an *error* saying that I
have no priviledge to install this application. This error is a stupid error
from dpkg saying “I'm not run as root!”.
Is that so complex to ask for the root password before installing something and
running dpkg?!?
Martin, as usual very impressed by how “easy” it is to use Ubuntu rather than
any serious Debian system.
