Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Alberto, note that this isn't actually a bug in sudo.

The sudo pre-removal script will _always_ exit with an error to prevent sudo from being removed.

This is a bug in whatever package was being installed that had requirements that could not be satisfied without removing sudo.

Thanks
