su-real-package-install problems on Void Linux

["Sijmen J. Mulder" <ik%sjmulder.nl@localhost>]

Hi all,

Experimenting with Void Linux today I checked out pkgsrc to ~/pkgsrc
and pgksrc-wip to ~/pkgsrc/wip. I installed mksh and bootstrapped like
so:

  $ cd ~/pkgsrc/bootstrap
  $ sudo SH=/bin/mksh ./bootstrap

This succeeded. But when I try to build a package:

  $ cd ~/pkgsrc/wip/nosst
  $ bmake install
  ...
  ===> Building binary package for digest-20180917
  => Creating binary package /home/sjmulder/pkgsrc/packages/All/digest-20180917.tgz
  => Becoming ``root'' to make su-real-package-install (/usr/bin/su)
  Password: dfdf^C

My characters are echoed back and sent to my shell, not to the password
prompt. If I don't do anything, eventually the following is printed:

  Password: su: Authentication failure
  *** Error code 1
  ...

Any ideas on how to get this to work correctly? Perhaps make it use
sudo somehow? I couldn't find any relevant documentation.

Sijmen.
