All commands not found, and Vim stopped working.

[timtastic]

Hi, a friend of mine installed something on the server (i dont know what). After that, commands stopped working, vim editor was gone. And i cant install anything thru apt-get. I can use the apt-get command but i always get error.

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

apt-get -f install 

mv: kan inte ta status på "/etc/alternatives/rename.dpkg-tmp": Filen eller katalogen finns inte
update-alternatives: kunde inte installera /etc/alternatives/rename.dpkg-tmp som /etc/alternatives/rename: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
dpkg: fel vid hantering av perl (--configure):
 underprocess post-installation script gav felkod 2

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Sorry for swedish error codes. Basicly the folder /etc/alternatives is gone!?

Any help is appreciated!

I don't know about apt-get error - But what does ls -l /bin/ says ? Or even ls itself removed? Try running "/usr/bin/whereis <cmd>" to find out where the command
resides and try invoking it using complete path name like /bin/ls
