Hi,

In Proxmox CLI (shell) I cannot use wget because I have the error message "wget: command not found". I tried to install it, it's says that it's already installed. When I try to uninstall it, its seems it want to uninstall some proxmox package too but I stop the process here because I didn't want to break my installation.

Someone has an idea why this is happening or have any tests to do in order to undestand why ?

Thanks!
 
May be you altered your $PATH?
what does "echo $PATH" show?
what about : find / -name wget

Thanks for your response

I successfully reinstall wget using the
Bash:
apt-get build-dep wget
command. It throws me an error regarding the source list (
Bash:
E: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list
) so I copy the 3 deb lines and paste them at the end of the source list file by adding -src (deb-src) and by doing an apt update and after the command above, it works fine.
