Bug Description
When an update is available in Muon, sometimes it returns an error because it is not able to show the popup-windows where the user must accept/decline the terms of license. For example the JAVA package. This is a quite serious issue for newbies users, so I think it should be addressed as soon as possible by Kubuntu's developers.
The workaround is easy too, but not available to mass public. In the terminal, type:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade
or
- sudo apt-get -f install

- muon returns error because cannot display license windows + Unable to use debconf KDE frontend |
This functionality is supposed to work, and just this morning Muon did prompt me with a debconf prompt. (For java, coincidentally). Maybe it's a bug with the KDE debconf frontend?
