Bug Description

Binary package hint: clamtk

I am using Ubuntu Hardy and Clamtk 3.07.

In order to update the virus database, you have to launch Clamtk as root. Many new users don't even know how to do this, so it would be much more convenient to have Clamtk use policykit to get the necessary privileges and be able to update the db.

I subscribed you to this bug as this is really something that would have to be done upstream.

This is no longer needed as of the 4.x series, since users can now update signatures on their own. Recommend closing this bug.
