Why does installing Trinity require removing 'sudo'?
The Trinity packages cannot be installed because it requires removing
'sudo'. Since I use the command line too much to allow this anyway, I
would like to know if this issue can be resolved some other way.

Install sudo-trinity in Debian or sudo-kde3 in Ubuntu.

This is Ubuntu Lucid. I noted that package was included by default and

none of the incantations in the CLI error message would work. I ended up
having to create the root password before the installation would proceed.
That's fine, since it brings Ubuntu back to the Unix standard.

This concerned me at first too. It actually replaces sudo with an
alternate version which I believe is recompiled to include the kde3
directories in the PATH. --Paul

Paul is exactly correct here. There is actually no change to the sudo
source code or patches, only to one compilation flag in debian/rules.
Don't believe me? Paranoid? Download the official source and the -kde3
version and run a difference on the directories--you will only see changes
to the control files in the debian/ directory.
