Public bug reported:

Hi, I'm having several problems with Karmic Alpha 64 bit, one of which
is that I can't run any application that requires escalated priviledges.
When I try to run synaptic, for instance, I get a dialog that says:

Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.  
Failed to exec new process.  Exec format error.

Running sudo <anything> from shell does nothing, just gives me another
command prompt.
