uninstall sudoer and install rootsh instead

Interesting - could be some filesystem corruption. Try:

misterc i already have both and I would uninstall then reinstall if I could.

Definitely looks like filesystem corruption then Unfortunately I don't think there's any way to fix that on the rootfs, other than a reflash.

You may be able to get things "fixed" by doing:
I'd recommend a reflash though, as there's no way of knowing what else is/will get corrupted.

tried it. no change.

I am trying to find a way of removing bluetooth-pan now but it doesn't look as if anyone has removed it before, looking at these forums. I am hoping this might make the problem dissappear. Is there an easy way to 'reverse' a chmod command

this one for instance:

chmod u+x /home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh

and

echo "/home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh" | sudo gainroot

Is there a way to un-hide a directory. I don't know how or why it might be hidden, but some experiments have indicated that some things just can't see that directory at all (etc/sudoers.d) possibly due to permissions or something, I have no idea.

You'd reverse the chmod command by using "-" instead of "+" there, but that won't do anything useful here. You'd need to reverse everything that was actually carried out by the "/home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh" script. If you post the contents (cat /home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh) then someone might be able to help with a reversal script.

If the permissions were set to 755 as I suggested, then everything should be able to read it. Do you have any examples of things that can't see the directory at all?

been trying to apt-get --reinstall some things to see exactly that

rootsh reinstalled fine.
File box runs into the problem and says can't remove /etc/sudoers.d/filebox.sudoers.
I made a backup then deleted the contents of sudoers.d tried it- same error.
put a blank file in there with correct name - same error
copied the right file back- same error

Tried it with cleven error same (except same it can't find /etc/sudpers.d/cleven.sudoers)

reinstalling conky worked fine.

reinstalling yosmapa worked fine.
My conclusion is that etc/sudoers is just not visible
If an app doesn't need to use that folder then it installs and updates fine. If it needs it then it returns an error. How to fix that is the big problem lol.

I've tried running update-sudoers and it seems to work but nothing changes. ( don't really know what that's supposed to do though.)

EDIT: further experimenting suggests, from putting other files in there, that whatever I am trying to install/update just returns an error based on the name of the files. So if there is a.sudoers, b.sudoers and c.sudoers and I try to update program x - it will same error can't find a.sudoers no such file.
If I delete a.sudoers then it throws up can't find b.sudoers instead.

I think I will give up now and restore a backup. Just looked and latest one was in april oh well- needs must.and all that.Might try just restoring root first before opt

thanks fpr all the help rob1n.
I restored the backup root from april. (i WAS lanning to do one this summer, honest). No ill effects (yet) from not restoring backup opt at the same time.. updates and upgrades looking like they are going as normal now (except something funny happened when It updated kernel-power. I will investgate later maybe)
