Hope the above solution resolves your problem. As an alternative, you may try installing the latest version, 1.6.8. It will install without any errors.

This error has been around for several years and is a problem with the Liverpool package. Here are the details:

The sudo package does not install correctly from the Liverpool archive. This is a known problem with the package. The installation package from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ has exposed a bug in swinstall. The sudo binary must be set to 4111 but in the INFO file, the owner and group are both 0, rather than the more customary root and root. This produces the error messages:

...

* Installing fileset "sudo.sudo-RUN,r=1.6.6" (1 of 1).
ERROR: Unknown owner and/or group for file "/opt/sudo/bin/sudo".

SUID and/or SGID bit was not set.

The fix is to manually edit the depot (must use swcopy of the depot file into a local depot). Using vi, cd into the sudo depot, then:

- cd /catalog (ie, /var/sw/depot/catalog)
- cd sudo/sudo-RUN
- vi INFO


Under path: /opt/sudo/bin/sudo, change both owner and group from 0 to root. Now you can reinstall sudo successfully for 11.xx

Or alternatively, install sudo from the HP site. Works right out of the box and follows the more conventional product tree in /opt:
