    Description

      One of my installation steps needs admin right.

      I tried the built-in RequiresAdminRights feature of the installer framework.

      but after providing the password, the installer would freeze.

      I'm on ubuntu linux 16.10 with the latest 5.8Qt

      to reproduce, find one qt installer example, adding

      <RequiresAdminRights>true</RequiresAdminRights>

      to a package.xml file.

      generate an installer and observe.

      the attachment will reproduce the problem
