Sudden complications with Adept and Synaptic - partly solved

No, not really! By example the command 'sudo dkgp' delivers the 
following result:

bas at Viaconsensus1:~$ sudo dkgp
[sudo] password for bas: (here I type my password and hit the enter button)

One should expect getting in root now, but this is not the case. I see 
again this at the terminal:
bas at Viaconsensus1:~$

The only way I do manage to get root-access is like this:

bas at Viaconsensus1:~$ su
Password:
root at Viaconsensus1:/home/bas#

Some things do work, others not.

You might be right.

Pls. tell me how. Do I first need to remove the 'old' sudo package?

May be you're right. But I first need to know how I can CHECK wether 
this tty-console problem has been solved or not.

Ulrich - pls. consult also another message off-list.

Thx.

Bas.
