Details

Description:
Tasks with become_method=su fail with a timeout. This has been fixed upstream but might take some time to reach a release.

Low severity but high impact: `ansible` is broken for anyone who uses `su` rather than `sudo` for privilege escalation.

Please cherry-pick the patch from https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/23710.

Additional info:
Upstream bug report https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/23689


Steps to reproduce:
* Try to run an ansible task which includes `--become --become-method=su -v`.
* Observe timeout with message "Timeout (12s) waiting for privilege escalation prompt:"
This task depends upon

To try and help out a little, and with no new release in sight from upstream, here's a PKGBUILD with the necessary patch included.

[Edit: tweaked to avoid patch fuzz (15209), can't seem to delete the original attachment (15208)]
