This error sounds like a Hurd-specific issue to me (likely in glibc/auth server). Generally, we should avoid configuring packages differently on GNU/Hurd than on the other Debian architectures, which is why I'm reassigning it to the hurd package until we have triaged this. > Added to these messages is the warning: /etc/sudoers busy, try again later Known locking issue.

Perhaps Samuel could indeed upload a thusly fixed package to debian-ports? Grüße, Thomas
