[Bug 1883146] Re: package sudo 1.8.31-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed sudo package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Seth Arnold]

Hello, it looks like something is trying to remove sudo. This would be
bad.

I suggest running this:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install sudo
sudo apt install -f

hopefully this will get you back to a working system. If not, I suggest
asking for help on #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net or https://askubuntu.com/

Thanks
