I know very little about linux/ubuntu, but I needed it for a webserver I am wanting to run. I got everything setup and running nice and I have been getting this for some time now. Every time I attempt to install something using apt, I get this error. I have seen similar articles, and they all suggest making a folder and trying to start the service, but I get the same result every time.

The root cause is identified by this error message:
This happens when your system's root directory
/
has the wrong ownership or permissions.To fix the problem, correct the ownership and permissions.
After this is fixed, you can fix the partially installed packages.
Then move on to whatever your next issue is.
