Thank you, Vic.

We can do it like this:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cmdline
if it contains a single 0 (zero), don't upgrade the sudo package :) For most of the users this is not the case. So, go for the upgrade. If (very if) the sudo command would fail, we still have su as temporary solution :)

^ Exactly. That is why I did not even consider posting that bug. Sometimes it suffices just to read the bug report and go on with the upgrade. ;)
