Hi, installed aurto and made aurto init. Yet it fails to update packages with the following error:

What did I do wrong?

update-aurto uses sudo -u "$user" to run aurutils, where $user is the user that ran aurto init.

Aurutils can also invoke sudo to get root access, in this case probably https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/blob/ad5b985e606caa4a3ac8ab99d6f9849a6286b708/lib/aur-chroot#L165.

To support this aurto installs some sudoers config at /etc/sudoers.d/50_aurto_passwordless for wheel group users.

It's possible your other sudoers/auth config could be conflicting with this. Or maybe your user is not in the wheel group?

Or maybe your user is not in the wheel group?

This is the case, thanks! Could not figure it out by looking at 50_aurto_passwordless
