confnew isn't the answer here. If vmbuilder is mangling sudoers (and sshd_config too, it looks like?), then replacing it with the new conffile will undo that. If the new conffile works, then the mangling didn't need to happen in the first place. If the new conffile doesn't work, then confnew will break the end result.
In the case of sudoers, the answer is probably to use sudoers.d instead. sshd_config has no similar mechanism, however. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618899 Title: vmbuilder fails with dist-upgrade with release xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/1618899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
