[SOLVED] sudo keeps saying incorrect password

I just performed a pacman -Syu upgrade, and suddenly I cannot use sudo anymore. I've reinstalled pambase, and su still works fine for me. Any help?

Re: [SOLVED] sudo keeps saying incorrect password

What was in the upgrade? (/var/log/pacman.log)  Have you read through recent threads related to pam / pambase?

Re: [SOLVED] sudo keeps saying incorrect password

I do not think it will be the same issue if that is all the packages that were updated.  pam and pambase were not in the update.  If pam is version 1.4.0-3 and pambase version 20200721.1-2 then they are current.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1922862 has links to the issues related to the pam / pambase upgrade.
