Package: wajig
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I've a default sudo and wajig installation on Debian Stable.
When trying to perform administrative commands like install,
hold, etc. wajig says "Access denied". This message is
displayed when I run su as root without a user name.
I tried to change my sudoers file with visudo, without success.
I dig into wajig and found, that is uses su and not sudo on
my system. I changed line 28 of /usr/share/wajig/perform.py to
setroot = "/usr/bin/sudo"
Now wajig works fine as root, but does not work as a normal
user. I know, I have to use visudo...
wajig's perform.py is a bit messy and not suits well for
Debian and possibly other distributions.

Could you give actual examples. I've not bee able to reporoduce this
problem and others have perfectly working systems - so I'm trying to
track down what you might have that is different.

So, you did or did not change your sudo file? Whether or not you choose
to used sudo is up to you. It is recommended but not required, and if
you have sudo installed but not properly set up then wajig will have
some issues.

That's because sudo as root should always work. It sounds like you have
a badly setup sudo? Check the instructions for help.

Suggestions are most welcome. What do you mean here?
