Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Update-manager used to be able to detect if it is running under ssh via the SSH_* environment. This is no longer possible now that sudo cleans out the entire environment. A new mechanism should be searched or SSH_{TTY ,CLIENT,CONNECTION} be whitelisted in the sudo args.

As per our discussion, I recommend looking at wtmp, either by calling "who -m" or the corresponding libc functions (getutent, etc, see "man wtmp").

command line "who -m" or c-function getutxent should help
