Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
This may be a bug in sudo itself; reporting against gnome-terminal
first. I have run across an intermittent bug while executing sudo in
gnome-terminal where spurious linefeeds are fed into the program being
run under sudo. For example, sometimes running "sudo id" results in the
output of id and then a dozenish prompts after id. This is particularly
evil when running "sudo apt-get install" and it automatically selects Y
for me.
Intermittently occurs, no solid repro available, but I have seen it on
my HP Pavilion dv6700t (Hardy), Tadpole (Hardy), our office
administrator's System76 Seval Performance (Hardy), and Neil Patel's
Ubuntu Mobile handheld.
It has also occurred on remote servers when logged in from my dv6700t
using gnome-terminal.
