Public bug reported:
I have Ubuntu Studio 14.04. I used software updater to update. I then
got a box asking me to replace /etc/sudoers. There was an expandable
called "changes", which I clicked on. This revealed an _empty_ text
area.
Just in case, I backed up my sudoers file. Then I went ahead and allowed
the replace of this file.
Now it turns out there were changes. My custom setting was removed:
Defaults timestamp_timeout=0
Also, the path line was updated with an added /snap/bin.
It shouldn't show no changes when there are changes. I'm not sure if
this is a problem with the sudo package or the updater.
