On my ubuntu 15.04 server the apt-get command won't work. I think it has something to do with perl. Does anyone know how to fix it? I've already tried apt-get -f install, but that outputs the same error..

Thanks for helping me out

This is the error I receive:

  • have you executed sudo apt-get update prior to this command? –  Jan 14 '16 at 13:14
  • I do, but then i receive the following error: W: GPG error: http://ftp.debian.org experimental InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8B48AD6246925553 NO_PUBKEY 7638D0442B90D010 – Luuk Isbouts Jan 14 '16 at 13:20

  • You are using Debian archive on Ubuntu, which surely will bring you all sorts of problems. You should never do that, and should now remove all debian archives found in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. – Anthony Wong Jan 14 '16 at 13:29
  • Please run echo $PATH in a root prompt and post the output. – kos Jan 14 '16 at 13:32
  • 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable That doesn't look good. – fkraiem Jan 14 '16 at 14:03
  • Perhaps exiting from the root shell (whose PATH seems to be messed up) and using sudo (which should have its own secure_path) might make a difference? – steeldriver Jan 14 '16 at 16:15
  • Output from echo $PATH: '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games'.

    Creating a new user didn't do the trick for me..
