Sudo Issue

Got this bug

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...do/+bug/234727
(Sudo seg-fault)

Someone's made a .patch to fix it but I can't figure out how to install it.

Help Please I never got a chance to install some important software

Some one on the Ubuntu forums posted this
__________
Code:
cd ~/Desktop

apt-get source sudo

cd sudo*

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21261955/sudo.patch -O- | patch -p1

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
If it fails to build because of missing build-deps, you'll have to reboot into recovery mode and go into "Root Terminal with Networking".
Code:
apt-get build-dep sudo
You will also require the use of recovery mode to install the application too.
Code:
cd /home/username/Desktop/
dpkg -i sudo*deb
Regards
Iain
------------------------------
But it didn't work as explained here

When I boot to the recovery Menu there is no "Root Terminal with Networking Option"

apt-get source sudo Returns this

mmlinux@mmlinux:~/Desktop$ apt-get source sudo

First off what version of ubuntu are you running?

Second, what exactly are you trying to do? I don't know that I can outright fix the sudo problem but it seems it only fails on a subset of commands. There may be a workaround here.

did you do a apt-get update or upgrade to see if they released an update?
