If you are root, why are you adding sudo?

You need sudo if you have not sudo' up to root.....

I'm not seeing any issues in your output. The commands are not outputting any errors.

Is the issue now gone? Can you please try to recreate the issue and post the terminal output as an update.

Thanks

Your output does not show a dependency problem, but the message

sudo: unable to resolve host dodasso

What is the output of the terminal commands

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/hostname

And as a general remark: for security reasons the root user should be locked, and sudo from another user used instead. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

Can you help with this problem?
