Please Apple, hear my prayer

Hello. I've had great troubles installing iTunes through the cli application "softwareupdate". It seems to hang on ALL commands using "su" in the scripts during or after installation.

Changing "/usr/bin/su $USER -c " to "/usr/bin/sudo -u $USER " in these scripts seems to make everything work as it should. It didn't use to be like this! So please, from iTunes > 6.0.3, please don't use "su". It is alot of uneeded work at my lab for fixing this bug.

I've also talked about this here:
