  • What's the output of apt install -f? – user8292439 Apr 02 '18 at 12:46

  • @karel: But OP used sudo to run apt-get. The permission issues are related to something different. – David Foerster Apr 03 '18 at 10:34
  • @ajit: Could you please [edit] your post when you want to add information? Especially file or program output listings (with the help of the {} button in the editor toolbar) will be much more readable there; alternatively you can use a pastie service for longer listings and include the link of your pastie in your question. Overall it’s best to have everything relevant in one place. Additionally, comments may be deleted for various reasons. Thanks. – David Foerster Apr 03 '18 at 10:34
  • Due to the specific package conflict I also suggest that you update the package data and upgrade all available packages: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -f. If that fails please [edit] your question to include the full, verbatim output of that command sequence. Thanks. – David Foerster Apr 03 '18 at 10:36
  • @DavidFoerster The command that generated the error was $ apt install -f (from the second comment posted by ajit). This is clearly not the same as what you claim it is. – karel Apr 03 '18 at 10:41
  • @karel: sudo: /var/lib/sudo/hp writable by non-owner (040777), should be mode 0700 looks a lot like the message came from sudo. I don't see any other permission issue in the question. If you mean OP's comment, they posted the output of the same command with sudo immediately afterwards and before your comment. – David Foerster Apr 03 '18 at 10:43
