unexpected error with sudo-rs with rust-coreutils on debian

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Not sure what is going on but the error message should be improved:

$ sudo ls
/etc/sudoers:1:9: expected parameter
Defaults        env_reset
        ^
/etc/sudoers:3:31: expected host name
Defaults        secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
                              ^
[sudo: authenticate] Password:

$ /usr/lib/cargo/bin//sudo --version
sudo-rs 0.2.1

and sudoers:

Defaults        env_reset
Defaults        mail_badpass

The problem is not in the sudoers file you list, but in one of the included sudoers files in /etc/sudoers.d (probably a Defaults is being used there with a host- or user-specific syntax (which we do not support yet as it is a complex feature); that's all normal.

The bug here is that the diagnostic shows the location using the /etc/sudoers file instead of the file that the error originates from.
