Bug Description

In Ubuntu, sudo is built with --enable-admin-flag to create the ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful after being run the first time.

At some point, to align with Debian, the group changed from "admin" to "sudo", so this no longer works. A recent bash upload has fixed printing the blurb about using sudo in the terminal, but since the flag file isn't being created, the blurb always gets printed.

This bug was fixed in the package sudo - 1.8.9p5-1ubuntu3

sudo (1.8.9p5-1ubuntu3) vivid; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/also_check_sudo_group.diff: also check the sudo group
    in plugins/sudoers/sudoers.c to create the admin flag file. Leave the
    admin group check for backwards compatibility. (LP: #1387347)
