Please use code tags - if you are using New Reply button - highlight text and use the # button in the text box header.

If using Quick Reply then [code] at the beginning and [/code] at the end, if you are editing a post to add code tags click the edit button then click the go advanced button, highlight the code then select the # symbol from the tool bar.

This is a direct result of your other thread (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2432391). Your package management is messed up. You can't use apt to install upgrades until you fix it.

BTW, no need to use sudo to run something as root if you already have a root shell.
