Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p7-1.3
Severity: grave

sudo <x-app> no longer works due to XAUTHORITY not being forwarded.
Futher, adding in:

        Defaults env_keep += XAUTHORITY

makes no difference whatsoever. It appears you have to turn on env_reset
to have any hope of getting this to work. But then env_check no longer
works, so how do you pass things like LANG?

AFAICT, it seems the new version of sudo in stable has broken the
ability to run X11 apps under sudo.
