Install MV without installation [duplicate]

  • Find (and reinstall) packages with corrupted files (without breaking anything)

    4 answers




I have the problem that whenever I want to Install something, there is this lovely error:



/usr/sbin/update-initramfs: 158: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: mv: not found


I could trace this error back, and the problem is actually this one:



Command 'mv' not found


Now I have the quite interesting task to install the mv-command without being able to install any new Packages. Using Dolphin on Kubuntu 18.4 (I guess it is that one since I didn't do any updates) I am able to copy files, and if someone was able to give me some kind of source file for the mv command, I could "simply" change the update-initramfs file in order to install coreutils which then would "repair" my not actually broken ramfs.



Any Help would be cool, a friend already told me that I would have to completely reinstall the system, if it is possible to prevent that from happening, I would very much appreciate it.



And I guess it is possible to copy with root privileges, but I haven't tried that yet.



Thanks for everybody trying to help.



Edit: in /bin there isn't a file called coreUtils or something like that, I don't know if there should be



ls: cannot access '/bin/mv': No such file or directory


/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games /usr/local/games /snap/bin

    Can you add to your question the output of echo $PATH, and the output of ls /bin/mv

    This may be symptom of other missing files or other issues. mv is such a fundamental part of the system I can't imagine it just vanishing on its own.

Norbert pointed it out, this askubuntu Question totally helped, I simmply needed to use sudo apt install --reinstall coreutils, and now everything works again...
Thanks Norbert!
I don't know if it works that way, but if it gets the points post your thing as an Answer, then I can (I believe) set it as the working answer.
