Yes, that is a general "problem" with sudo, with the latest version

Briefly, sudo (and I have noticed other programs, like screen) don't
inherit the environment, so
sudo ccp4i
no longer works.
sudo -s
spawns a root shell.
Then you can source the environment file, and then it will all work.
If this represents a serious problem, you can try the following (at
your own risk):
comment out this line in /etc/sudoers: Defaults
env_reset
Some sort of reboot/logout might be required for it to go into effect.
