KPackage requires root
access for installing/uninstalling packages, this can be can be done by
running KPackage as root
,
say by using TDE su.
Alternatively, if KPackage is running as a normal user it will
try to run the install/uninstall programs as root by logging in to a
pseudo terminal, it will use either su, sudo or
ssh to do this and if needed it will pop up a
prompt window where the root
password or ssh key can be typed. For this to work the root prompt has to end in
#
. The option causes KPackage to
remember the password that is entered.
