Description Martin Steigerwald 2010-04-09 21:21:47 UTC 
Version:           1.80 aka 2.0 Beta 1 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

installer script wants sudo rights and creates user write protected directory when installing into home directory (choice 2):

martin@shambhala:~/.kde/share/apps#1> LANG=C rm -r basket 
rm: descend into write-protected directory `basket/welcome'? y
rm: remove write-protected regular file `basket/welcome/Welcome_en_US.baskets'? y

Expected results:

All files installed to the home directory are owned by the user. The installer script shouldn't require sudo password either when installing to home directory.

patch for the installer file.

I had the same issue, so I modified the install file. It should now install to
the user's directory properly, and it should start/restart basket after the
install. Note: I never tested the system wide installation.

Has this been applied?  Can it be closed?

(I don't use the installer -- I install by hand)
Comment 4 Matt Rogers 2010-09-26 05:06:45 UTC 
Merge request containing the fix integrated. Closing.
