Thank you for your report! I'm having trouble reproducing this situation. Can you include your /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and perhaps the specific steps to reproduce this from a fresh install?

I have tried:
sudo apt-get -y install libnss-db sudo
cd /tmp
ln -s /etc/shadow DB_CONFIG
sudo

Even through strace, I don't see attempts being made to open DB_CONFIG. I suspect my configuration of libnss-db is incomplete in some way.
