Configuration file `/etc/sudoers' during make fs (rev 136 and rev140)

[Erik Grootjans]

Configuration file `/etc/sudoers'
 ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
 ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** sudoers (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? N

When you answer Y or I you will be asked for the sudoers password.
But your sudoers password is not in the file. So you get 3 wrong passwordentrys and
the process will not go correctly.

Please change this ....

When you answer N or O the installation will run correctly.
I think it is better when the question is not asked at all.

[anonymous]

yes, don't answer Y. please answer N.

but change it very important.

 debian/buildenv/prepare-sb2:

The idea is that there is no /etc/sudoers when sudo
is installed in $(DEBIAN_BUILD_DIR), so it should avoid

What would you like to do about it ?

Hope this helps

Sounds like a very good solution! Patch accepted! But please test.

Hmm, problem seems to be that first sudo from squeeze is installed and later from sid, after changing to the sid repo for a limited set of packages.

Moved something in the ordering of installing packages and applied above fix, because it's a good one. Everything builds just out of the box without interruption now. Closing ticket.
