我试图在我的远程服务器上安装 ruby（这是 esxi 服务器中的 vm 机器（debian）。）我收到了这个错误：
命令：
sudo apt-get install ruby1.8
错误 ：
W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
然后我尝试了：
sudo dpkg -- configure -a
输出：
dpkg: need an action option
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
更新：
的输出mount

mount: warning: /etc/mtab is not writable (e.g. read-only filesystem).
It's possible that information reported by mount(8) is not
up to date. For actual information about system mount points
check the /proc/mounts file.
我应该怎么办 ？
