OK, I once again forgot to link the pictures... :)
Hi Michele,
Not so easy... There's not much showing.
With kpackage, I get the same behaviour wether I start kpackage (from the
TDE/kicker menu) or by right-clicking on the *.deb file and choosing "open
with":
kpackage opens, I choose install, kpackage asks for the password (snapshot
1). Maybe a clue? It asks for the SUDO password - I have no sudo password.
Neither the root nor the user password work. The dialog box disappears,
then comes back, and so on.
If I modify the menu command in "tdesu kpackage", kpackage works (albeit I
get a "tdeinit could not start tdesu" message...).
I tried starting kpackage from the command line but all I get is:
thierry@haswell:~$ kpackage
TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for
writing TQLayout "unnamed" added to TQVBox "page", which already has
a
layout thierry@haswell:~$ ^C
thierry@haswell:~$
No idea if this tells you something...
Gostcrypt shows a similar behaviour, but with no message at all. I can
select the crypted partition, but when I want to mount it this requires the
root password, which is not taken, so of course gostcrypt does not get the
superuser rights (snapshot 2).
tdesu gostcrypt works perfectly, so this is not really a problem.
I also need tdesu to start synaptic, but this is more to get a nice dialog
box (otherwise some text window is used to ask for the root password.
Thank you,
Thierry
Speaking as a Debian user, those screen-shots look like Ubuntu screen shots
and I suspect that this is another attack of cross-over-itis.
Try :
Change to the directory in which you have placed the file:
# dpkg -i kpackage-trinity_3.5.13.2-0debian7.0.0+0_amd64.deb
(except that hopefully you have a Jessie one for Jessie and you will need to
use that name)
Aptitude install all missing dependencies.
And if my guess is correct, all will be well.
Though mine installed automatically, which raises the question of why yours
did not.

Hi Thierry,
I tried to reproduce the problem on my system but I didn't see anything
wrong. But maybe I was doing something different from you.
Could you file a bug report with detail instructions on how to reproduce
the post? Some screenshots would also be useful .
Thanks
Michele
