I suggest you bypass sudo
and reboot into a LiveCD. From it, you should be able to copy the file on your main hard disk to its proper location.
If you have no LiveCD access, you could attempt to use su
and login directly as your root user. This may break as sudo
has, so this is a bit iffy.
Also, you could attempt to reboot into single user mode (by appending 3
to the kernel's boot options) and login as root directly.
