The command you are trying to execute is actually a number of different commands separated by |. By adding sudo in front of the line only the first command will gain root privileges, and this is probably not what you want.
You should try "dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P" instead. -- no acess to terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
