cannot connect to X server from a sudo-ed program

[Michel D'HOOGE]

Hello

My problem is very specific but I guess the answer must be generic :-)

So: I use aptitude to manage my debian packages and I configured debconf to 
use KDE as its front-end. If I "sudo dpkg-reconfigure" a package from a 
Konsole, KDE dialogs appear normally. However, during an upgrade within 
aptitude (started as a normal used and sudo-ed when asked), debconf complains 
that it can't access the X server.

Any idea on how to solve this? Thanks
