Public bug reported:

`sudo-rs -vn` incorrectly prompts for password.

The version of sudo-rs needs to be updated to 0.2.9 or higher to fix
this bug which affects tools like bash-it that use that command to
determine if a shell is in sudo mode or not. sudo-rs 0.2.10 has already
been released but Ubuntu's version is still sudo-rs:amd64 0.2.8-1ubuntu5
0.2.8-1ubuntu5.2.

See https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/issues/1316

I'm using Kubuntu 25.10.
