So I just fixed my Arch KDE install this morning (I broke plasma after an update) and now I have an issue with sudo. It simply doesn't do anything when I use it manually in the terminal and when I use yay, it gives an exec format error for the sudo file. After checking on the file using both the file command and kate. Both say that the file is empty. Is that supposed to be the case? If not, how do I fix it?

If you have access to root, login to root and reinstall sudo from pacman, if not then you'll probably have to chroot into it and install it from there.
