Followup on Error Script: Second Response

Tue Dec 10 22:37:41 UTC 2013

Probably you need to keep on hitting the exit command until you get back 
to your user account.  Once you do that, try typing sudo -H apt-get 
remove root <enter>.
For your system, sudo -H apt-get install soundjuicer -r <enter> should 
install extra dependencies if any are available.  When you're asked for 
your password, you enter the password for your user account.
