Bug Description

On a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04, ./MAGICK-INSTALL fails with this console message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./MAGICK-INSTALL", line 96, in <module>
    usr_for_group + "'"
NameError: name 'sudo' is not defined

EXPECTED OUTOME
it should check for the mission module and advise user to install it, or install the dependency on its own

FIX
sudo apt-get install gksu solves the issue on ubuntu 16.04

gksu has been removed in 18.04, and the installer is broken in many other places.

Following INSTALLER.txt by hand just works fine, though :)

The project is orphaned here. I forked it on github, https://github.com/wolfgang-noichl/magick-rotation and made it work at least on recent xubuntu.
