Public bug reported: For a while using sudo is not a problem but suddenly it starts failing every time with:
sudo: pam_mount.c:417: modify_pm_count: Assertion `user != ((void *)0)' failed. It just happened *during* an "apt-get dist-upgrade". A reboot is necessary to recover the ability to sudo. This seems to be the same problem as the upstream bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648698 "sudo: calls pam_close_session without prior pam_open_session" I changed my /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml according to this (German) howto http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Daten_verschl%C3%BCsseln#luks The file is attached to this bug, as well as an strace of sudo.
