Binary package hint: authtool

Just started authtool-gtk from command line.
When started without sudo it outputs:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
...and traceback

When started with sudo it outputs the same except the line with 'Permission denied':
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
...and traceback

The error isn't in not using sudo. But maybe the app should output sometheng like 'Sorry, this app needs to be run as root'.
