Thank you! With that information I found the root cause: a faulty cp was done a few weeks ago which accidentally changed the owner of /usr/bin. That led to, among other things I guess, chkstat denying to change the file permissions in /usr/bin accordingly when being run. Therefore su didn't receive the setuid bit after upgrading to the mentioned snapshot which included an update of the util-linux package. -Miko
