[Bug 2122414] Re: Ansible times out after BECOME password request

[Finn Gärtner]

I have a branch ready for this, but we should probably wait for
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/86964 to land to also handle the
locale case where the sudo-rs prompt is translated.

  Ansible times out after BECOME password request

Bug description:
  When using ansible with a site or a task using "become: yes", ansible
  will prompt for the password (forwarded to sudo) before running.

  When doing so with sudo-rs, after the password is provided by the
  user, ansible hangs and then throws the following error:

  "Timed out waiting for become success or become password prompt"

  When setting sudo.ws as the default with update-alternatives, ansible
  proceeds as expected after the password is provided.

  DistroRelease: Ubuntu 25.10
  Package: ansible-core 2.19.0-1ubuntu1
