Comment 7 for bug 5608

This is unquestionably a bug in the Ubuntu SWAT package. If you can't log into SWAT as an administrator on a standard Ubuntu system, then the package is broken.

Not only that, but the Importance level of "Low" is wrong, since the package is not functional as installed.

If the SWAT developers cannot or will not change the software to allow the Ubuntu admin model to work properly, then the Ubuntu developers need to make those changes to the package on their own. If they can't or don't want to, then SWAT should be dropped as a supported Ubuntu package as it cannot be implemented correctly in Ubuntu. It can be added to universe or similar instead.

At the very, very least there should be something added to the SWAT package that pops up a message dialog when it is installed, explaining the situation to the user and describing how to work around it.
