No, you are not su(1)'ing from root as the "openpkg" frontend switches
the UID according to the command and "openpkg build" already uses the
command of option -N for running its "openpkg rpm" query commands.
Usually you no longer need the -N option of "openpkg build". The
"openpkg" frontend does already "the right thing" for you.

This certainly is a buglet in the build program. But as I said, one
today no longer uses the -N feature at all today, so instead of fixing
it I guess we should just remove -N at all.

Yes, this was a bug in the latest sudo configure script.
We need an explicit --without-pam now. Now fixed.

Sure, just manually perform the "openpkg rpm --rebuild" and "openpkg rpm
-Uvh" command to install "sudo" or even just use "openpkg build" without
option -N, please. For non-privileged commands the "openpkg" frontend
automatically switches to your the OpenPKG instance management user...
