Description Sandeep 2009-04-21 08:13:35 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Ubuntu 9.04
KDE 4.2.2

Most package management are exclusive - which means that you can run one instance of the installation software at a time.

For example, on a fresh install of KDE, konqueror prompts you to install flash player.  This is spawned using kdesudo. However there is no notification that is thrown, or a panel icon is displayed (like in gnome where a icon appears, even when you run sudo dpkg on the cmdline).
This indicates to the user that another installation is in progress. This maintains consistency in the user-experience, who try to run another installation and get frustrated.

What you describe is a Ubuntu-specific addon to KDE, meaning you should report your wish to Ubuntu.
