* debian/patches/also_check_sudo_group.diff: also check the sudo group in plugins/sudoers/sudoers.c to create the admin flag file. Leave the admin group check for backwards compatibility. (LP: #1387347) -- Marc Deslauriers <marc.deslauri...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 29 Oct 2014 15:55:34 -0400 ** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sudo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387347 Title: sudo doesn't check for sudo group Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In Ubuntu, sudo is built with --enable-admin-flag to create the ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful after being run the first time. At some point, to align with Debian, the group changed from "admin" to "sudo", so this no longer works. A recent bash upload has fixed printing the blurb about using sudo in the terminal, but since the flag file isn't being created, the blurb always gets printed.
