Ubuntu 25.10 has been released. One prominent change in this version of Ubuntu is the switch to some Rust-based utilities. Part of this switch is also that Ubuntu now defaults to sudo-rs(1).
Unfortunately, this breaks our CI because sudo-rs(1) does not support the `--preserve-env` flag. Let's revert back to the C-based sudo(1) implementation to fix this.
Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> --- Hi,
this breaks a bunch of our CI jobs, both for GitHub and GitLab. It would probably make sense to fast-track the fix.
Thanks!
