[Bug 974200] Re: package sudo 1.7.2p1-1ubuntu5.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Brian Murray]

pkg: sudo: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:^M
 ubuntu-minimal depends on sudo.^M
 gksu depends on sudo.^M
 kdesudo depends on sudo.^M
 kdelibs4c2a depends on sudo.^M
Removing sudo ...^M
You have asked that the sudo package be removed,^M
but no root password has been set.^M
Without sudo, you may not be able to gain administrative privileges.^M
^M
If you would prefer to access the root account with su(1)^M
or by logging in directly,^M
you must set a root password with "sudo passwd".^M
^M
If you have arranged other means to access the root account,^M
and you are sure this is what you want,^M
you may bypass this check by setting an environment variable ^M
(export SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes).^M
^M
Refusing to remove sudo.^M
