I was trying to delete a folder and messed up. I'm getting this error while I'm trying to use sudo:
sudo: error while loading shared libraries: libsudo_util.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How can I fix this?

Do you know what you did when you "messed up"? Did you delete the wrong folder, maybe? – Nick Weinberg Sep 13 '16 at 03:56

i created a folder in usr/lib and wanted to delete that. i did with rm -rf foldername – Saik94 Sep 13 '16 at 03:59

the folder name was sudo and i deleted it – Saik94 Sep 13 '16 at 04:00

Yeah, that's not good. I honestly don't know how to replace it (without using the `sudo` command in the process) -- maybe someone else has some ideas. – Nick Weinberg Sep 13 '16 at 04:30

i tried to install sudo from recovery mode, it says you already have the latest version of sudo. – Saik94 Sep 13 '16 at 04:33

Have you tried *re*installing it? – Nick Weinberg Sep 13 '16 at 04:35

I think you could open ubuntu software (gui) Search for "synaptic"
Install synaptic package manager .
open synaptic package manager and search for sudo Right click the mouse on sudo choose mark for Reinstallation Then click the big apply button I think sudo will work agin for you Kevin

Since Synaptic must run as root to function, this is unlikely to work. – user535733 Nov 23 '17 at 02:27

yes Synaptic must have root permission . As long as he could log into ubuntu , he can use root permission in gui programs . Sudo isn't the root. sudo is just a package gives the main user in ubuntu root permission – bob Nov 23 '17 at 09:47
