Comment 3 for bug 223047

I can also confirm the described behaviour. The environment is Kubuntu 8.04 64-bit fresh install KDE 3.5. It was also experienced with kubuntu-desktop installed on top of Ubuntu 7.10 and subsequent upgrade.

Here is my console output (basically the same as the previous comment)
christopher@christopher-gaming-desktop:~$ sudo adept_manager
kapture::PkgSystem::PkgSystem()
Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-christopher" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
