Description Pierre Bourdon 2021-09-13 21:13:35 MDT 
I assume something somewhere is being confused while tokenizing settings. The following simple repro works on 1.9.7p2, fails on 1.9.8.

$ sudo -p '' true
sudo: (null): option "passprompt_override" does not take a value
sudo: error initializing audit plugin sudoers_audit

    Make it possible to call the sudoers policy check function multiple times.
    We need to reset the Defaults values to their original state.

After upgraded sudo (1.9.7.p2-1 -> 1.9.8-1) on Archlinux, following problem occurs:

[klaus@archlinux ~]$ sudo -p "Sir, Enter Your password: " pacman -Syu
sudo: (null): option "passprompt_override" does not take a value
sudo: error initializing audit plugin sudoers_audit

Thank you in advance
Klaus.

Sorry, newer Version for sudo on Archlinux is in testing with Version 1.9.8-2 and with working sudo as expected. (With missing patch)

[klaus@archlinux sudo]$ sudo -p "Sir, Enter Your password: " pacman -Syu
Sir, Enter Your password: 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: sudo: local (1.9.8-2) is newer than core (1.9.8-1)
 there is nothing to do

sudo 1.9.8p1 is out now which includes the fix.
