Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I put a few comments in /etc/sudoers where the '#' comment char is succeeded
with -- as in:
#--ariel--#
result: sudo won't work anymore.
$ sudo echo OK
>>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 9 <<<
>>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 27 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 9
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
putting a space between the '#' and '--' solves the problem.
Comments should start with '#' only.
