** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: network-manager
+ Binary package hint: sudo
  
  I put a few comments in /etc/sudoers where the '#' comment char is succeeded with --  as in:
  #--ariel--#
  
  result:  sudo won't work anymore.
  
-     $ sudo echo OK
-     >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 9 <<<
-     >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 27 <<<
-     sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 9  
-     sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting 
+     $ sudo echo OK
+     >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 9 <<<
+     >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 27 <<<
+     sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 9
+     sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
  
  putting a space between the '#' and '--' solves the problem.
  
  Comments should start with '#' only.
