I wanted to uninstall texlive on ubuntu and used apt remove texlive but some program still found /usr/bin/latex so I removed that by hand (rm). When I reinstalled texlive with apt install texlive the /usr/bin/latex file was not restored.

You can find out which installed package the file the you deleted belongs to using

dpkg -S /usr/bin/latex

Then reinstall that package (it's probably texlive-latex-base)

sudo apt install --reinstall texlive-latex-base
