Because Kubuntu never installed KDE into its own directory under /opt.  If
I remember correctly, SuSE always did this, therefore its sudo program
would already have the correct paths in its RPATH variable.  Kubuntu has
also decided not to alter sudo in that manner just for the Trinity
project, so I was forced to alter and recompile sudo if Trinity is to work
properly under Kubuntu.

Hope this helps!
