Are you logged in and running the script as root? FWIW -- sudo was designed to run pieces of code as somebody else.
root can sudo to anybody.

X 123 abc
Does this mean the "*" operator matches ONLY the first and
the entire token - "abc" and replaces with "X" ?
2. echo "123 abc" | sed 's/*/X/'
yields -
X123 abc
What does this indicate about the "*" operator ?? (7 Replies)

DEBPKG(1) General Commands Manual DEBPKG(1)
NAME
debpkg - wrapper for dpkg
SYNOPSIS
debpkg dpkg-options
DESCRIPTION
debpkg simply invokes dpkg(1) but first becomes superuser so that dpkg is able to install and remove packages. It also cleans the environ-
ment and resets PATH to a sane default: "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11" so that local versions of programs are not run by
accident.
REQUIREMENTS
debpkg must be given superuser privileges in some way to function properly. Access to debpkg with those privileges is the same as having
superuser access to your machine. debpkg will abort if it finds that it neither being run by root nor setuid root.
The devscripts package has been designed to allow debpkg to be made setuid root. This works by using a compiled wrapper script, which
means that suidperl is not required. See dpkg-statoverride(8) if you wish to make this program setuid root. sudo or super could also con-
ceivably be used.
