[Bug 1387347] Re: sudo doesn't check for sudo group

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package sudo - 1.8.9p5-1ubuntu3

---------------
sudo (1.8.9p5-1ubuntu3) vivid; urgency=medium

  * 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)

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.
