sudo vs su during yaourt jdk install (aur/jdk 7.51-1)

Package builds correctly but then after requesting USER password (for sudo) it fails:

==> Continue installing jdk ? [Y/n]
==> [v]iew package contents [c]heck package with namcap
==> ---------------------------------------------------
==>
[sudo] password for romke:
Password: <valid user password>
su: Authentication failure

entering root password works correctly so there's prompt for USER password where ROOT password is required.

This might be AUR/jdk issue as I did not notice it for any other packages.

Where should I report this? To yaourt bugs or community packages @ bugs.archlinux.org?

If you build it with just makepkg and it still fails, I would say it's an Arch problem. Else it'll be a problem with yaourt.

Probably a yaourt bug, but definitely not Community Packages. Bugs in AUR packages should be reported directly to the maintainer, not in the bugtracker.
