Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdesudo
Hello. I am using Intrepid Alpha 6 updated with latest packages as of
2008-09-28. kdesudo package version 3.3.1-0ubuntu1
Previously kdesudo for KDE 3 (till Hardy) used to put kdesudo in
/usr/bin/kdesudo and a symlink /usr/bin/kdesu to the kdesudo in the same
directory.
Now kdesudo for KDE 4 (in Intrepid) only contains /usr/bin/kdesudo and
the symlink to this is placed at /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu for some
unknown (to me) reason. While the symlink is valid (i.e. not broken) it
is of no use in practicality. Neither from the Alt+F2 KRunner nor from
the Konsole terminal are we able to use kdesu to launch any application
(say for example kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst) but we are forced to
only use kdesudo.
While typing those two extra letters is not in itself a big deal, I feel
that there is no harm in letting users who are used to type kdesu to
continue using it. So please move the kdesu link from
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec to /usr/bin where it will be useful. If OTOH there
is any real meaning in placing the link under /usr/lib/kde4/libexec,
please explain it.
