[Bug 833058] Re: Muon-updater doesn't ask for password

[Gert van Dijk]

As axel points out in comment 10: this bug is about the need to install
some package manually after Kubuntu installation (on standard Ubuntu
install) in order to do system updates. I think more people would agree
with me that installing packages manually before being able to install
updates or install new packages is very user unfriendly and should be
considered a workaround, not a fix.

Besides, did you notice the circular dependency here? Users aren't able
to solve this bug due to the bug, unless they stumble upon this bug
report and take a dive in the raw package management (something not
based on qapt). Also, as a consequence they will probably not be
installing (security) updates (or updates to solve this issue) until the
workaround is applied. And hey, shouldn't the latter be a reason to set
some level importance to this bug?

This affects still all users moving from Gnome/Unity (and probably other
DE's too) to KDE by using the Software center within their current
installation.

So, to summarize, in my opinion, this bug has *not* been solved, should
not have the status 'Fix released' and have some level op importance
set. Please reopen.

N.B. Re-reading my comment before posting: sorry for being a bit too
grumpy between the lines.
