BUt the thing is im not trying to set up a email server...IS unbuntu useing qmail as some kind of handler to get-apt or something

[Ubi_one_2014]

it seems so...

did you recently remove postfix and or sendmail.

for some reasons linux always wants a mailserver installed

try:
sudo apt-get install ssmtp

that will install an very simple smtp server, handy to use for localmails in order to know what happend on your system
