I was trying to install ruby with :
sudo apt-get install ruby1.8
output:

E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Output of sudo dpkg --configure -a

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.

. /var/log/syslog do not have updated log
- What should I do in order to have my file system read write without loosing all my data ?
- Is it appropriate to do
sudo mount / -o remount,rw? What other option do I have ?
NOTE: System is debian vm running in ESXI server.
