(Only briefly skimming the history of this thread:)

If all you want is to have it up and running, I'd suggest reinstalling
the OS and then try again. Quite likely you have there some local
non-default configurations or something. If it still fails, I'd suggest
to open a bug, describe exact flow, and attach all relevant logs. When
you reinstall the OS, keep in mind that things like a custom kickstart
file etc are also non-default configurations, so if you need them,
attach them to the bug as well.

If you are aware of such non-default stuff but do need them, you
basically have two choices:
1. Keep on debugging this til it works. We can try helping, but can't
guess every change you did to your system. In particular, as Simone
said before, sudo is configured to work out-of-the-box by default.
2. Try a clean vanilla OS install on another system and compare them
to try and see what difference breaks. This can be done also on a VM
with nested kvm, if you do not have a spare physical machine.

Best,
