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
