Public bug reported:
Summary: pmbootstrap (PostmarketOS build tool) fails if the host has
sudo-rs, but works fine if run through sudo-ws.
So, pmbootstrap creates and initializes a image to be flashed unto a
mobile device. this tool at some point asks for the image's user
password and loops until ctrl+c with this error:
----------
New password:
Password change has been aborted.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
[14:38:48] NOTE: The failed command's output is above the ^^^ line in the log
file: /home/andres/.local/var/pmbootstrap/log.txt
[14:38:48] WARNING: Failed to set the password. Try it one more time.
----------
if the system is using sudo-rs as default. If I remove it, the sudo-ws
takes its place and pmbotstrap can set up the image's password just
fine:
----------
[14:41:49] *** SET LOGIN PASSWORD FOR: 'andres' ***
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
[14:42:18] NOTE: No valid keymap specified for device
