I ran rsync -aHA --delete --devices -S -xv /media/tmp/oldroot/ /media/newroot/. After I reboot, I can login. But I cannot use sudo and passwd.

How to fix this?

$ sudo ls
sudo: must be setuid root

$ passwd
Changing password for galaxy.
(current) UNIX password: 
passwd: Authentication failure
passwd: password unchanged
