When bootstrapping to focal and using debug output, we get the following outputted to the stderr.

sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted

I'm unsure what it's attempting to do at that point, but others have also run into this with a suggested workaround.

Marking as invalid for Juju since it's expected this is an issue to be fixed in the focal image.

Just spun up a Focal LXD container and this is still an issue in containers:

bladernr@focal-builder:~/development/kernels-ubuntu/focal$ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted

Changed in sudo (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Confirmed

It has been resolved in 1.8.31p1.

That version hasn't made it into the focal repository yet though.
