Bug Description

Binary package hint: sudo

Normally, sudo-ldap requires the following:

1. an enabled root account (not the ubuntu default)
2. an initialized variable:

SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes

Seems this is not possible to do in a preseed context. Is there anyway to make this work?

A late command appears to be the only way.

Late command is wonky too. I have to install it twice because the first one fails. This is what I have in my preseed/late_command script:

# sudo-ldap
SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes
export SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes
apt-get -y install sudo-ldap
# first attempt will fail on 10.04 so do it again
apt-get -y install sudo-ldap
