Package: kdesudo Version: 3.4.2.4-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, if you try to restore the default kdesu behaviour (that is ask for root password not the sudoer password) by running the command dpkg-reconfigure kdesudo and aswering "No", then nothing happens unless your current locale is english (or "C"). The workaround I found is to prepend LC_ALL="C" to the command 'dpkg- reconfigure kdesudo' In fact, the kdesudo.postinst dpkg script greps for the "by kdesu" string which is output by dpkg-divert *only* in english locales. To reproduce the issue on a debian(wheezy)/kde(4.8.4) system (you must also have kdesudo installed of course): 1) install a non english locale by running 'dpkg-reconfigure locales', selecting for example 'it_IT.UTF8', and set it as default locale 2) logout and login 3) execute 'dpkg-reconfigure kdesudo' in konsole and *change* your selection to 'No' (you may have to select the other way before so that it changes) 4) No any dpkg-divert message is output, while in english locale you would get: Removing 'diversion of /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu to /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu.kde by kdesudo' Removing 'diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/kdesu.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/kdesu.kde.1.gz by kdesudo' No effect, either, so you're stuck to kdesudo mode.
