Well, I could restore things by copying the sudo file from my laptop which had not been upgraded In fact, there were a lot of missing lines which I rewrote in my wrong sudo file : All of these #in the default (unconfigured) configuration, sudo asks for the root password. #This allows use of an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly #installed system. When configuring sudo, delete the two #following lines Defaults targetpw #askfor the password of the target user i.e. root ALL All=(ALL) ALL Then I deleted the paulus entries and rewrote the root entry this way : root. ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL And now everything works fine as before the update. > > Then save the file.
