yup confirmed java culprite (i hate java!)

here output when tried remove sudo (was gonna remove/add see if fixed it)

here output:
installarchives() failed: (reading database ...
dpkg: warning: files list file package `oracle-java7-installer' missing, assuming package has no files installed.


....and please love of god don't ever develop on o/s requires jre, kills babies.

if going try out removing , adding programs via synaptic see can should try doing programs less vital functioning of system apt , sudo. remove , reinstall silly game or something.

both sudo , apt essential synaptic function. removing them leave non-functional synaptic , no way recover. in other words pretty trash system. if lucky synaptic realise asking incredibly stupid , refuse it. if unlucky synaptic have requested.

perplexed problem java prompt try drastic removing apt , sudo.
