I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. It went through, until it hit the sudo package, which sudoers file is altered. I called up the diff in VIM and exited it with :q. Instead of prompting me again, it took the default action and kept my altered version.
I intended to install the package distributed version of /etc/sudoers, how can I do this in retrospect?
I tried apt-get install --reinstall sudo, without a change.
Output of apt-get upgrade:
