Hi,
after upgrading sudo today, gksudo stopped working. Downgrading sudo fixed the issue.

I need to extract the package of version 1.8.14.p1-1 from a backup, I downgraded to 1.8.11.p2-1, because this was the version provided by the downgrade command, however there wasn't an issue when 1.8.14.p1-1 was installed.
Any ideas, before I file a bug report?
Regards, Ralf
Did you try rebuilding gksudo? Sudo now has an extra option enabled IIRC, so that might help. Regards, runical
