Bug Description

After upgrading from KDE3 to KDE4, upon running adept-installer from the main program menu using

add/remove programs

I receive this message in the pop up dialog box:

Run as root - KDE su
The action you requested needs root privileges.
Please enter root's password below or click ignore to continue with your current privileges.
Command: /user/bin/adept_installer

There is no way past this dialog box with current in use passwords.
I have seen a work around which includes adding a password for root, but I don't think that should be needed.
