[15:54] <bdmurray> xnox: I've seen a few bug reports with the following in them "sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied"
[15:55] <bdmurray> bug 1259470 for example
[15:55] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1259470 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Install crash when using filemanager to check on partition sizes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1259470
[15:57] <xnox> bdmurray: what's unclear if that's warning is from inside chroot /target, or from the live-cd (normal) /
[15:57] <xnox> and the longs don't tell us that.

[15:58] <xnox> bdmurray: is this recent?
[15:59] <bdmurray> xnox: that bug is recent and the first reporting of it appears to be from Jun 27

[16:00] <xnox> my only thoughts are to inspect the recent code - i.e. ubuntuone plugin.
[21:05] <antarus> is there seriously no good way to talk to debconf?
