Well, darn, I seem to have screwed up the status for the sudo package, and now Launchpad won't let me change it back.
** No longer affects: sudo (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sudo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249777 Title: libsss-sudo generated nsswitch.conf leads to error messages upon sudo invocation Status in sssd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in sudo package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Hello, the postinst script for libsss-sudo adds the following line to /etc/nsswitch.conf: sudoers: files sss On my LDAP+krb5 setup, this leads to the following error message when either LDAP or local users invoke sudo: Nov 9 17:34:41 charon sudo: oliver : problem with defaults entries ; TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/etc ; The sudo invocation succeeds nonetheless, so this is mainly an annoying cosmetic issue, since a mail is sent to root everytime someone runs sudo.

There are slight differences in the debug trace: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879633 Removing the "sss" statement from the sudoers line in nsswitch.conf works around the problem.
