SQL Server's `mssql-conf setup`, error Aborted sudo

Question

When I run sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup to configure SQL Server 2017 I get the following error,

/opt/mssql/lib/mssql-conf/invokesqlservr.sh: line 15: 12710 Aborted                 sudo -EH -u mssql /bin/bash -c "$CMDLINE"

Answer 1

sudo disables core dump

 To prevent the disclosure of potentially sensitive information, sudo disables core dumps by default while it is executing (they are re-enabled for the command
 that is run).  This historical practice dates from a time when most operating systems allowed setuid processes to dump core by default.  To aid in debugging
 sudo crashes, you may wish to re-enable core dumps by setting “disable_coredump” to false in the sudo.conf(5) file as follows:

       Set disable_coredump false

The Aborted above is actually generated from this

sudo -EH -u mssql /opt/mssql/bin/sqlservr
Aborted

Which is actually,

sudo -EH -u mssql sh
$ /opt/mssql/bin/sqlservr
Aborted (core dumped)

Make sure you have a new copy. In the event you updated your distro, you may have to re-add the repository and key. A core dump, may or may not be normal practice for Microsoft, from their own docs, license_Eval_Linux.txt
