Something wrong for my /bin/echo command.

sudo ls -al  /bin/echo

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root utmp 0 Nov 11 18:05 /bin/echo

method1 to fix it:

I knew that /bin/echo is in coretils.

Remove coreutils first then reinstall it again.

sudo apt-get remove coreutils

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

I can't remove it ,it is no use to remove it and reinstall coreutils?

method2 to fix it:

compile the echo.c.

cd  /tmp

sudo apt-get source coreutils

cd  coreutils-8.26

/tmp/coreutils-8.26$ ./configure

./configure: line 3492: config.log: Permission denied

./configure: line 3502: config.log: Permission denied

Let me config it with sudo.

sudo ./configure

configure: error: you should not run configure as root (set FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 in environment to bypass this check)

Get a proper .deb file:

mkdir ~/dummy

cd ~/dummy

apt-get download coreutils

Unpack it:

sudo dpkg-deb -x *.deb ./

(Note: dpkg-deb can run without sudo but it's easier to unpack as root to obtain the echo file with proper ownership from the beginning).

The executable you seek is ./bin/echo. Replace /bin/echo:

sudo mv ./bin/echo /bin/

Remove the directory:

cd ~/

sudo rm -rf ~/dummy

That's an odd solution. I'd say a mere # apt install --reinstall coreutils should have worked, no?

@kostix Write an answer and I will upvote it. My answer touches /bin/echo only; the other extremity is to reinstall the entire OS. Your way is somewhere in between.
