I just did a full upgrade from Saucy to Trusty.

After completing the upgrade and rebooting and logging in, I opened a terminal an attempted to add a ppa so I could try out a calendar indicator applet.

However, I just discovered that the upgrade destroyed my sudoers file and my ONLY user account no longer has sudo access.

Because of this, I can't do ANYTHING on my system because I don't have sudoers.

So my upgrade from Saucy to Trusty has, right off the bat, left me with an unusable system I must now repair.
