Has anybody tried installing babushka on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal?

sudo auth caching seems to be working normally:
====================
paul@natty:~$ sudo whoami
[sudo] password for paul: 
root
paul@natty:~$ sudo whoami
root
====================

But installing babushka prompts for sudo password every time it is required:
====================
paul@natty:~$ bash -c "`wget -O - babushka.me/up/hard`"
...
            existing.install_path {
              meet {
[sudo] password for paul: 
[sudo] password for paul: 
[sudo] password for paul: 
... (repeat 17 times)
[sudo] password for paul: 
              }
            } ✓ existing.install_path
====================

This continues throughout the install process.

Any ideas what could have changed in Natty?

Cheers,
Paul

Ah excellent - your fix does the job for the moment:
Defaults !tty_tickets

Cheers!

The same is true for Arch Linux:


Not sure what the best approach is here.
