Have you altered /etc/sudoers? It's complaining that there's a "syntax error" in or near the first line of /etc/sudoers. Undo your changes to /etc/sudoers.

  • I recommend [edit]ing this answer to expand it with specific details about how to do this. Editing/fixing a broken `sudoers` file is not very obvious because you can't use `sudo` any longer. – David Foerster Jul 17 '16 at 16:03
