[kinetic] can't update distribution due to various issues

[mcwimpy]

Issue Description

after installation of 22.10 (several alpha versions of boot medias crashed/froze or otherwise did not make or create a bootable system) i did about 37 times this first setup thing, and it fails each and every time anew. i tried updating in the hope a bug fixed tool would then download and let me finish the first setup, but it turned out, that the system does not want to do an update without the first setup having finished. so i'm kinda locked in a bug loop.

Steps to Reproduce

• install
• let first setup fail (countless times)
• error message: failed to start transactional shell: open /partFuture/.system/:no such file or directory
• close first setup
• popup says 'command completed: /usr/bin/vanilla-first-setup'
• try 'apx update' (error 'do not run as root' with sudo, without it does nothing then complain about sudo not configured right:
  vatux@hpprobook6560b:§ sudo apx update
  [sudo] password for vatux:
  Do not run Apx as root!
  vatux@hpprobook6560b:§ apx update
  sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is group writable
  sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
  vatux@hpprobook6560b:§
  )
• make screenshots and log files is all i can do now

On what version of Vanilla OS this happens?

22.10

Which build is this? R9?

[mirkobrombin]

The given information does not let me debug. I feel the bug was fixed already but your installation looks broken in some points, in the last screenshot ABRoot does not find the structure it expect.

Which version of ABRoot is? Issue an abroot --version please.
