New question #79333 on sudo in ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+question/79333

Binary package hint: sudo

The $PWD environment variable isn't being propogated/set by sudo.  The command 'sudo printenv' doesn't mention PWD, for example.  This is bad because it's a very standard env var, and many scripts expect it to exist.


sudo:
  Installed: 1.6.9p17-1ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1.6.9p17-1ubuntu3
  Version table:
