FIXED: An update actually removed me from sudoera

I just found out that somehow my sudoers rights were revoked on my system. That is, I didn’t do that myself and the only explanation I have is that an update actually changed something.. This in itself is very preoccupying and demonstrates perhaps the lack of testing before deploying new updates….

In the meantime, what would be the most efficient way for me to fix this ? I tried to give myself administrator rights from the users app in settings but that doesn’t work; if I try and execute sudo usermod -aG wheel username I’m told I’m not a sudoers.

Update :

Seems like I had to reboot after assigning myself to the administrator account type and it worked.
