Description 2.acc.von+sudo 2022-08-28 11:50:04 MDT

I edited a file with sudo -e and deleted the whole content (except a newline).
sudo asked me whether to truncate the file to 0 bytes.
It offers j/n  for "ja" and "nein", but does not recognize j as yes.

$ sudo -e package/command-ln 
sudo: package/command-ln auf null Byte kürzen? (j/n) [n] j
sudo: package/command-ln wird nicht überschrieben
$ sudo -e package/command-ln 
sudo: package/command-ln auf null Byte kürzen? (j/n) [n] y

I've forwarded this to the German translation team.
