Public bug reported:
A vary bad consequence of this is that it causes sudo to fail locking
the administrator out of the machine.
Prior to the upgrade I had manually edited /etc/hosts, maybe the
installer doesn't like that?.
To fix it you have to boot in failsafe mode and manually add the
hostname to /etc/hosts.
e.g.
127.0.1.1 myhostname
