In a sudoers.d file for a specific user, I added a spec:

(note that braces here means "not literally"...)

Execution of sudo for that user would be rejected.

The sudoers parsing of the sudo package appears to be doing something weird with regards to the command+command args. I tried various quoting and escaping, and it still would not work...

Hi,

I am not quite sure that this is a bug. Please add a reproducer that I
can just cut&paste.

Please also discuss this on the sudo users mailing list and if you have
positive feedback from the mailing list, please reopen this bug. As this
is most probably an upstream issue, it would also be a good idea to open
a bug on upstream's bugzilla and to reference the upstream bug number
here.

Greetings
Marc
