Hi,
after upgrading sudo today, gksudo stopped working. Downgrading sudo fixed the issue.
[rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ grep sudo /var/log/pacman.log | grep 2015-07-21 [2015-07-21 15:30] [ALPM] upgraded sudo (1.8.14.p1-1 -> 1.8.14.p2-1) [2015-07-21 18:24] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U sudo-1.8.11.p2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' [2015-07-21 18:24] [ALPM] warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew [2015-07-21 18:24] [ALPM] downgraded sudo (1.8.14.p2-1 -> 1.8.11.p2-1) [2015-07-21 18:58] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S sudo' [2015-07-21 18:58] [ALPM] warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew [2015-07-21 18:58] [ALPM] upgraded sudo (1.8.11.p2-1 -> 1.8.14.p2-1) [2015-07-21 18:59] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U sudo-1.8.11.p2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' [2015-07-21 18:59] [ALPM] warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew [2015-07-21 18:59] [ALPM] downgraded sudo (1.8.14.p2-1 -> 1.8.11.p2-1)
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.

No I didn't try that before you mentioned it. Yet I rebuild it, but with the same configure options. This doesn't solve the issue.
I don't know what to change:

Here the issue appeared with password request:

Before posting my bug report I searched for sudo and gksudo bug reports, but none were shown.
However, sudo 1.8.14.p2-2 solved the issue.

I know what you're referring to, but your mails are sometimes really hard to follow. And reading that bug (or knowing sudo) it's pretty obvious that "nopasswd" played no role here.
Before posting my bug report I searched for sudo and gksudo bug reports, but none were shown.
Some Flyspray tips: I usually check "Search in comments", "Search details" and "All Statuses" when searching and then sort chronologically (ID/Opened/Last Edited). Also, in this case 'gksu' would've been the proper package name. But as that package didn't get touched for three weeks, the most likely culprit had to be sudo anyway.
The time when I was active all day on bbs/irc/wiki giving free support is long ago (2006-9), but I think the general consensus had always been "bug first, talk later" ... dunno how others think about that nowadays.

I searched for sudo, gksudo, gksu and a few other terms, I just didn't mention all terms here. The advanced search neither is very helpful.
Since sudo is a core package and gksu is from extra, my guess was that gksu has to follow sudo, when there are changes, so I decided to first send a request to the mailing list, before filing a bug against a package.
