That's a local configuration issue.
Had exactly the same problem on my machines. So what configuration causes this?
same problem here. How can it be resolved if it keeps popping up? What's the configuration that causes this problem?
The problem lies in the qtparted-0.4.4.ebuild. [cut] inherit kde need-qt 3.1 DESCRIPTION="nice Qt partition tool for Linux" HOMEPAGE="http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/" SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/${PN}/${P}.tar.bz2" LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="x86 ppc ~amd64" IUSE="" DEPEND=">=x11-libs/qt-3.1.0 >=sys-apps/parted-1.6.6 >=sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.33 >=sys-fs/xfsprogs-2.3.9 >=sys-fs/jfsutils-1.1.2 >=sys-fs/ntfsprogs-1.7.1" [cut] The entry for the ">=x11-libs/gksu" dependendancy is missing and should have been resolved. So I agree with others here that it is NOT a local configuration issue, but the problem lies in the ebuild itself. In the KDE menue-editor you can easily see, that gksu needs to be run. It must fail, when it can't be found on the users system. The solution "RESOLVED INVALID" is, as anyone can see "INVALID" in itself. So reopen this bug please.
Reopening
Reassigning to qtparted maintainers.
Well, livecd@ has nothing to do with this package, but since it is such a simple fix, I've gone and committed it to CVS.
my qtparted (0.4.4-r1) doesn't complain about a missing gtksu (gtksu is not installed on my gentoo). When I start it as a normal user, it just say I am not root. I don't think this dependency is right.
