sudo installation reports an error

[Jdamian]

I downloaded sudo from the Software Porting And Archive Centre.

The following error message is reported during installation:

ERROR: Unknown owner and/or group for file "/usr/local/bin/sudo".
SUID and/or SGID bit was not set.
ERROR: Failed installing fileset "sudo.sudo-RUN,r=1.6.7p5". Check
the above output for details.

But swlist shows the owner/group for that file is 0/0 (root:root).

Any ideas ?

Just check whether there is a INFO file in the depot.

If one exists change

"owner 0" change to "owner root"
"group 0" change to "group root"

I have come across this problem with the sudo installation

Thanks
