RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.

Comment 4 François Cami 2021-03-17 14:15:18 UTC
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.
