Hello. Is there somebody looking into this problem? No comment from ubuntu-devs so far and I wonder if this report is even noticed.

I experience a bug after upgrading from Ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04. The bug seems to be a regression because what I am trying to do was working with Ubuntu 17.10 and stopped working after the upgrade. Here is the problem: I have 2 users on my system. One is the user that is created during installation, named zzz. The other user I added later, named abc. Both users have passwords set. According to passwd the password for user abc is a locked password (L) (whatever that means). Now I am logged into user zzz and want to execute a program as user abc without entering the password of user abc. Until Ubuntu 17.10 this was done like this: "sudo -i -u abc /usr/bin/java -version". To get that working I had to add this via visudo: "zzz ALL=(abc) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/java" Now this seems to be ignored. Instead the terminal is asking for the password of user abc. I see this in /var/log/auth.log: "sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): conversation failed".
