[Bug 428496] [NEW] Root account required to install program

[Connor Imes]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-store

When trying to install a program in software-store (like 3dchess), the program prompts for a root password.  It does not accept a sudo password.  Since root is disabled by default in Ubuntu, this doesn't work out-of-the-box.  It only works after setting up a root user.
Screenshot attached.
Thanks.
