Description Sudhir Menon 2021-03-16 09:11:52 UTC

Description of problem: ipa-client-install displays false message 'sudo binary does not seem to be present on this system'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-client-4.9.2-2.module+el8.4.0+10227+076cd560.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA client
2. Check the message displayed on the console

Actual results:
ipa-client-install displays the message 'The sudo binary does not seem to be present on this system. Please consider installing sudo if required.' 

[root@client ~]# which sudo
/bin/sudo
[root@client ~]# rpm -qf /bin/sudo
sudo-1.8.29-7.el8.x86_64

[root@client ~]# ipa-client-install
This program will set up IPA client.
Version 4.9.2
The sudo binary does not seem to be present on this system. Please consider installing sudo if required.
Discovery was successful!
Do you want to configure chrony with NTP server or pool address? [no]:  
Client hostname: client.testrelm.test
Realm: TESTRELM.TEST
DNS Domain: testrelm.test
IPA Server: master.testrelm.test
BaseDN: dc=testrelm,dc=test

Expected results: Fix the false message displayed on the console, since sudo binary is already present on the system.

This bug comes from the (upstream) fix to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1859185
An incomplete test was added which did not cover all cases.
The two commits above fix the original code and add a test to cover all cases.
