Public bug reported:

After downloading the plugin files with the recommended method and
accepting the license agreement the installation routine hangs (doesn't
proceed over multiple hours without any CPU or I/O load) after output
`Number of files to install: 42` which is likely to be caused by a
spawned process with the `cmdline`
`/usr/bin/sudo/usr/bin/pythoninstallPlugin.py` which might request the
user's `sudo` password which isn't visible for the user (and expected to
be requested in a dialog anyway).
