[Bug 442001] [NEW] update packages failed, root-privilege missing

[steve m]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Problem description: The update process fails due to missing root
priviledges. I have tried to launch the update from "K-->System
Settings-->Add Remove Software->Software Updates-->Select all
updates-->Apply". The problem occured also if the update process is
launched from the user update notifier. The update process should issue
sudo and ask the user to provide their password.

Additional information:
computer at computer01:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:        9.10

The system where the problem occured was a fresh installation, no
upgrade from previsous kubuntu version.
