Try fix:
Edit /etc/sudoers with visudo and add the line:
Defaults env_reset Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
The whole file now looks like this for me:
# /etc/sudoers # # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. # # See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file. # Defaults env_reset Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" # Host alias specification # User alias specification # Cmnd alias specification # User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL) ALL # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command # (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move # it further down) %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL # #includedir /etc/sudoers.d droidzone ALL=(ALL) ALL
Trying the command which failed earlier:
[[email protected] ~]$sudo apt-get install emacs

emacs is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
xaw3dg
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
