That means a standard Debian package, built to run on a system where you *don't* run everything as root, so that you can leave the safety checks in place, won't be appropriate for Kali.I was thinking to something like maintaining a list of debian derivative that have just the root account (the version checked with lsb_release) and run something on them during the installation phase.> - use something else other than error() when disabling dofile()> (something that won't generate such a disruptive dialog window for example).That was my first try. Something like error -> warning, but I didn't find anything useful. Are you aware of something?
I'm not aware of anything out-of-the-box. It would probably require some UX work in Qt to make this notification more user-friendly.
I have some doubts about the effectiveness and usefulness of this Lua sandbox. I didn't investigate in depth but it seems enabling/disabling the Lua runtime instead would be better, as dictated by policy (whatever that policy is).
