Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev

after a gcc update I used 
emerge -eav system
emerge -eav world
to fix some problems.

My /etc/sudoers got overwritten by the default file at the same time as the logfile for app-admin/sudo-1.8.18_p1 was created.

$ portageq envvar CONFIG_PROTECT CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK
/etc /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/sofficerc /usr/share/config /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /usr/share/maven-bin-3.3/conf
/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/chromium/policies/managed/chrome-gnome-shell.json /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/chrome-gnome-shell.json /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo

Anything else we can test?

If you had previously installed app-admin/sudo with a binary package created with `quickpkg --include-config=y`, then that would do it if FEATURES=config-protect-if-modified is enabled (the default).

I had never "installed app-admin/sudo with a binary package created with `quickpkg --include-config=y`" nor has Josef. Best, JS.

Could not reproduce this bug with =app-admin/sudo-1.9.3_p1

Rather, I got the following message, and was able to use etc-update as usual to deal with the change:

 * IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/sudoers' needs updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
 * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.

This bug seems like it should be closed.
