MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kdesudo [2]: It's been deprecated for years now, please delete it. Users can use kdesu, it can be configured to use sudo instead of su. https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/8au9r8/alternative_to_kdesudo/ Launchpad source last updated in 2011. It informs the user as such: Moved to KDE https://projects.kde.org/kdesudo But the latter is not found. If it's ever existed, it has been discontinued completely.
