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.
