Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
This will be fixed once https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/2111419 is fixed. sudo/1.9.16p2-1ubuntu4 is in the proposed pocket. It should migrate to release any time now. There is a livecd-rootfs test case which is blocking it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debcrafters packages, which is subscribed to sudo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2116147 Title: [sudo-rs] Ubuntu 25.10: Dependency conflict prevents sudo-rs installation (ubuntu-minimal depends on old sudo) Status in rust-sudo-rs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in sudo package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Problem Description I am trying to install `sudo-rs` on my Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) WSL instance, but I am encountering a dependency conflict that prevents the installation. The package manager (apt) gets into a loop where `sudo-rs` breaks `sudo` (old version), but core packages like `ubuntu-minimal` still depend on `sudo`. Steps to Reproduce 1. Ensure Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) is installed (WSL in my case). 2. Run system updates: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y` 3. Attempt to install `sudo-rs`: `sudo apt install sudo-rs -y` Expected behaviour `sudo-rs` should install successfully, replacing the old `sudo` package, and `ubuntu-minimal` (or other core dependencies) should recognize `sudo-rs` as fulfilling its dependency on `sudo`. Actual behaviour The installation fails with an "Unsatisfied dependencies" error, stating that `sudo-rs` breaks `sudo`, but `ubuntu-minimal` depends on `sudo`. The system refuses to make a conflicting decision, preventing `sudo-rs` from being installed. Relevant Output My current sudo version: sudo -V Sudo version 1.9.16p2 Sudoers policy plugin version 1.9.16p2 Sudoers file grammar version 50 Sudoers I/O plugin version 1.9.16p2 Sudoers audit plugin version 1.9.16p2 My Ubuntu version: lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu Questing Quokka (development branch) Release: 25.10 Codename: questing Output when trying to install `sudo-rs`: apt install sudo-rs -y Solving dependencies... Error! Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Unsatisfied dependencies: sudo-rs : Breaks: sudo (< 1.9.16p2-1ubuntu2~) Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions: 1. ubuntu-minimal:amd64 is selected for install 2. ubuntu-minimal:amd64 Depends sudo but none of the choices are installable: - sudo:amd64=1.9.16p2-1ubuntu1 is not selected for install because: 1. sudo-rs:amd64=0.2.5-5ubuntu1 is selected for install 2. sudo-rs:amd64 Breaks sudo (< 1.9.16p2-1ubuntu2~) - sudo-ldap:amd64=1.9.16p2-1ubuntu1 is not selected for install because: 1. sudo-rs:amd64=0.2.5-5ubuntu1 is selected for install as above 2. sudo-rs:amd64 Breaks sudo-ldap (< 1.9.16p2-1ubuntu2~) Additional Notes This issue prevents the installation of `sudo-rs` which is expected to be the default `sudo` implementation in Ubuntu 25.10. I have attempted various manual `dpkg` and `apt` `--force` commands, including trying to force removal of old `sudo` (which resulted in `Command 'sudo' not found` but then `apt --fix-broken install` reinstalled the old `sudo` due to `ubuntu-minimal`'s dependency).
