Sorry I got confused there: it has nothing to do with Capistrano 2.5.5
vs 2.5.8.
The fix was actually to use the command:
run "#{sudo} chown ..."
instead of:
sudo "chown ..."
However, Jamis advised in multiple posts to use the sudo helper and it
makes sense to me. So, I'd rather use sudo "chown ..."
I thought I had found a better fix:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/431925/capistrano-is-hanging-when-prompting-for-sudo-password-to-an-ubuntu-box
But when I tried to add:
default_run_options[:pty] = true
and use the sudo helper, the problem unfortunately re-appeared...
Anyone knows a better fix for this password prompt problem?
