Sublime Text 2 broken package

Question

Whenever I try executing Sublime Text 2 from my terminal by typing sublime-text, it give the following:

/usr/bin/sublime-text: line 3: /opt/sublime_text_2/sublime_text: No such file or directory

Moreover, there are two icons in the menu, none of which work.

These are the following things I tried:

Autoremove
Reinstallation
apt-get upgrade

But none of these seem to work. What should I do?

I'm not sure. I did it a long time back. I probably used sudo apt-get install — Ranveer, Nov 22 '13 at 19:04
You sure wasn't using the PPA? What is the output of apt-cache sublime*? — Braiam, Nov 22 '13 at 19:07
@GOD Fine i'll do that. But how do I remove the two icons that are there on my system? — Ranveer, Nov 22 '13 at 19:59

Running the following should work to reinstall Sublime Text 2, and install Sublime Text 3:

sudo rm -rf /opt/sublime_text_2 /usr/bin/sublime-text
# this will remove the old install directory and execution script
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
# add the ST2 repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3
# same for ST3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text sublime-text-installer
# install ST2 and ST3, respectively

You should now be able to run sublime-text from the command line to start ST2, and subl to start ST3. As always, please keep in mind the following:

Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use.
