]]>What happens on your machine if you try to install a package after login - in other words not having used sudo at all?
Are you using Trinity or Plasma? I'm on Trinity.
]]>No issues here, on my Centaurus install, running on terminal. Did you use "sudo"? Also, via GUI no issues, it asks for administrative password.

easy-to-use and powerful text editor
Ne, the nice editor, is one of the few text editors being
both easy to use for the beginner and powerful enough for
the wizard, supporting UTF-8 and multi-column characters as
well as syntax highlighting.
.
It uses short, intuitive and easy to remember key bindings
while providing all the features an editor should have.
It is fully configurable allowing the user to change the
content of the various menus, to easily create small macros
and to easily change the existing key bindings while being
a small and fast editor.

Need to be root to install packages
What it seems is that the installer is unable to find the correct path to whatever is need to launch the admin password box.
Don't know if this is due to background re-routing of tdesudo or something else.
Easy workaround obviously - but curious.
