[bug#43851] [PATCH] gnu: sudo: Depend on python-minimal instead of python.

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi,

Depending on python pulls in X11:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix graph --path sudo libx11
sudo@1.9.3p1
python@3.8.2
tk@8.6.10
libx11@1.6.9
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which is unfortunate, especially for the Hurd.

However...do we really want to extend sudo with eh, a large programming
language that has a more impressive CVE list than a lovely tiny language
such as, say Guile? ;)

Greetings,
Janneke
