[Bug 1514165] Re: package sudo 1.8.12-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Minca Andrei]

I've downloaded guitarpro from torrent and it was missing some
dependencies.

When I did sudo apt-get install -f after it did it's job, I saw at the
end that it was trying to delete the sudoers file also, but I didn't
have that privilege (luckily) for that.

Be careful what you download and install from torrents.

If this helps, I've also scanned guitarpro package with clamav, and the
clamscan was negative for viruses.
