Thank you Tim for the explanation, I will do it.
No, I'm not really security paranoid ;-) but I was not sure to have the same
functionality after deinstallation of package sudo.

Hi Gerhard,
Yes. It is the identical source to sudo, but with /opt/kde3/bin and
/opt/kde3/games added to the secure path. If you're a bit security
paranoid (like me) and want to make sure I didn't insert any backdoors or
the like, just download the source from the PPA and run a diff against the
official sudo version--you should only see the secure path change.
Tim trying to
install kdesudo-kde3 with "apt-get install " I am told that
apt-get tries to remove package sudo what gives me an error message
that
in that case I can not longer log into my system
as root because no
Root
password is set.
As long as that is the case I don't want to force installation of
sudo-kde3.

You can set the root password via "sudo passwd" test it via "su".
