I accidentally deleted /usr/bin/test and now I can't update, upgrade and install packages.


I already tried the solution here: apt-get raises /usr/bin/test: Permission denied, but this is the output I got:


Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

Reading state information... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

  java-common libutempter0

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 29 not upgraded.

Need to get 1,353 kB of archives.

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

I also tried sudo apt update --fix-missing and got this output:

I suggest getting the deleted file from a live USB and putting it back. Here's how.



  1. Download the Ubuntu ISO for your version of Ubuntu. Given that you have Impish (your apt output indicates that), the Ubuntu 21.10 ISO should work for you. Download the ISO labeled Desktop Image from here.

  2. Download balenaEtcher. Get the x64 Linux version. Extract the zip. In a terminal, go into the extracted zip folder. Once you're there, if you do ls, you should see a file that ends in .AppImage. Do chmod +x balenaEtcher-1.7.3-x64.AppImage.

  3. Run balenaEtcher with ./balenaEtcher-1.7.3-x64.AppImage.

  4. Find a flash drive that is bigger than 8GB in capacity, and put it in your computer. All data on this flash drive will be destroyed.

  5. Select the downloaded ISO, and select the flash drive. Hit Flash.

  6. Once it's done, reboot your computer, enter the boot menu, and select the flash drive. Press Try Ubuntu.

  7. In the live USB session, mount the main system. It might automatically do it, and there might be a button in the GUI to do that. Figure out where it is mounted. I'll use /mnt/mainfs as an example, but you should use the real location.

  8. Open a terminal, and run sudo cp /usr/bin/test /mnt/mainfs/usr/bin/test. Replace /mnt/mainfs with wherever you mounted your main system.

  9. You're done. Shut down the live session, unplug the flash drive, and reboot. Normal Ubuntu will be back, and apt should work again.
