[arch-general] sudo 1.8.14.p2-1 breaks gksudo

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

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

[rocketmouse at archlinux tmp]$ grep sudo /var/log/pacman.log | grep 2015-07-21

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
