[Bug 1277183] [NEW] kill doesn't report non-existance of pid if ran with sudo

[Mikhail Krutov]

Public bug reported:

Not cool.


Steps to reproduce:
neko at neko-N750JV:~$ kill -USR1  244463
bash: kill: (244463) - No such process
neko at neko-N750JV:~$ sudo kill -USR1  244463
neko at neko-N750JV:~$ 


Not sure that this is in 'procps' package however apt-file reports that kill is in there.
