I just installed 11.04 released version and Synaptic won't accept
passwords if launched with gksu from the menu but will if synaptic is
launched with sudo from the command line
Are you sure this bug ever fixed for the release?

The sudoers.d/README claims that sudoers isn't a conffile, but it is; also,
this README is actually parsed by sudo.
This claim has been removed from the debian package:

- avoid conffile prompt by checking for known default /etc/sudoers

(LP:
I'm looking at this currently.
The default sudoers from the package does not contain the %admin line and has
the following md5sum:
360f70ce177a30037cf5b4f61b84 /etc/sudoers
Because our default sudoers now has %admin in it we trigger the conffile prompt
on upgrade. This is
the first case
The only sane way to handle this, IMHO, is to revert the change in
(1.7.4p4-5) that made sudoers a conffile.

Here is my approach for a fix. It takes the known default /etc/sudoers and if
one of them is found
overwrites with the new default. This ensures we don't get a prompt (and also
that we will not get
one in the future unless the user really modifies the conffile).
If the file is modified then the
The patch is a outline of the fix currently it needs:
- removal of the echo output (this is just for me)
- more md5sums of older releases to ensure we have a reasonable coverage

Colin suggested to strip whitespace and comments. I added code for this
now to reduce the number of md5sums to check.
Please note that just removing ^# is not good enough, #include and
#includedir have special meanings, same
for # in username context. I decided to therefore go with a very
Here is the proposed final version. I do a quick check against dappers
sudoers file still, but the approach should be good now.
