Upgrade sudo from ports error.

Hi everyone! I just upgraded sudo from ports, and first I got these error messages :
Code: 
Checking existing sudoers file for syntax errors.
visudo: >>> /usr/local/etc/sudoers: /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d near line 96 <<<
parse error in /usr/local/etc/sudoers near line 96

So I delete previous version and old sudoers and reinstall new one.
I also got error messages from visudo:

Code: 
visudo: >>> /usr/local/etc/sudoers: /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d near line 98
I checked out this line in sudoers:
Code: 
#includedir /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d

and try put a space after #, everything goes okay!
Code: 
# includedir /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d

I don't know what's going on!
 
Perhaps #includedir without a space is an include directive, but when you add a space, it becomes a comment?

I saw the same error and hacked around it by adding a second '#' in front of the "#includedir". In that case, I'm almost positive I converted it to a comment.

My /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d file is empty. I don't know if that's the root cause, but it might be pertinent.
 
In my case, there is no such directory /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d. I've solved the error by just creating an empty directory there and then portupgrade.
