[Bug 1319403] [NEW] add sudoer rule by userid (#uid)

[Dani Ametller]

Public bug reported:

[Ubuntu 14.04]

sudo 1.8.9p5 had a bug which caused any rule added to sudoers to be
ignored if the user was stated by user id (with the username works just
fine).

For instance:

#33        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

Is ignored, while:

myusername        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

works just fine.

This bug has been fixed in the current stable release of sudo (1.8.10p3)
and it would be convenient if the patch could be applied to the current
sudo package in Ubuntu 14.04 (sudo1.8.9p5-1ubuntu1 )

Thank you
