clyde in some cases uses su instead of sudo

Hello, when I type
$ clyde something
I get a numbered list of packages that match to 'something'; let's say I want to install package number 3, I type 3 and hit enter, then I am asked for Password:. The problem is that I'm being asked the root password, not the sudo one as I would like it to. The only really annoying thing about it is that afterwards, when I view the PKGBUILD with vim, I have no syntax highlighting because it is being runned as root rather than as sudo.

How can I solve this?

thanks for any help

Set the SUDO_USER environment variable:

export SUDO_USER="$USER"
