On a brand new Ubuntu 7.04 install, I get this when I try to "sudo

What must I do to correct this? Thanks in advance.


Have you tried

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Try those, several times if necessary, until you see only zeros at the bottom
of the output.

Was this a fresh install or a dist-upgrade ?
It would be pretty weird on a fresh install...

Is your /etc/apt/sources.list correct ?
