Hello,

I tried to upgrade sudo yesterday, but I had some errors. I can't send them, as mount is also broken so I can't transfer them to this computer. The error was something like:

Can't create hard link to usr/var/archives/sudo (this may not be the exact path).

I decided to purge the package, and install it again, but this did not fix the issue.

My system is now in the following state:

Sudo can not be installed;
though aptitude thinks the package has been purged (after attempt to remove and reinstall) there are still some files called sudo on my system;
I tried removing files related to sudo, but can't (with rm or shred);
Since I broke sudo GDM will not work.


Please help me to figure this out, as I don't want to reinstall my entire system.

Also I will need very step by step instructions, as I am quite new to Linux and Debian.


Regards,
Jen.
