I think I have found the issue here. We obviously have a NOPASSWD entry in our sudoers file so "sudo -l" does not require a password.
So the bug is confirmed. However the fix is not fully functional as if I have sudo installed but can not use it for pacman, then I can no longer fall back to using "su -c". I'd choose excess password typing over functionality loss.
Eureka! I was just about to mail the sudo maintainer. Anyhow, What if there's a check for sudo's retval like I posted in the comments? Andres P
