I agree I think the error message should to specify in some way that the command will need to be run with superuser privileges.
Would you reproduce this error and then run the command 'xprop | grep WM_CLASS' in a terminal. You will get crosshairs that you can then select the error message with. The terminal will tell you what application the error message dialogue window comes from. Its most likely update-manager but just to be sure. Then you can mark what package this effects instead of the general ubuntu that it is marked as now and we can set the status to confirmed. -- When trying to install a program, I recieve 'must run 'dpkg --configure -a' but I'm told that I need superuser privelages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
