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

I'll try those when I get back to that machine, thanks.

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...

Fresh install. As soon as the system was up. It downloaded almost 200
MB of updates, and got stuck on the ones that you saw. The output that
you saw was from retrying after rebooting the system.

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

I haven't touched it. I'll post it Sunday, when I get back to that machine.

Thanks.
