Bug Description

This problem was reported once earlier today automatically, now I want to add that the package is completely unusable, a worthless lump of bits. It does not change any settings, but chrashes instead. When you think of it logically, it would at least have to ask the user for his/her password in order to gain root-privileges, but bloody hell it does not. It will not even work if invoked from the terminal-emulator with sudo.
But sysv-rc-conf does work for christssake when invoked with sudo in a terminal, so this is fair enough, thus removing that crappy lump of software now from my system.
Cheers all. Using Xubuntu 12.04.1 here, it is quite nice otherwise.
