I am using Ubuntu 12.04 X64, I deleted my /usr/bin/env file by mistake. How could I restore this?

Also I copy a file as /usr/bin/dev, I don't know if I originally had a file called /usr/bin/dev. If so, how could I restore this as well?

The /usr/bin/env file originates from the coreutils package. To restore it, simply reinstall this package. In order to do so, run this command:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall coreutils

There is currently no package in Ubuntu repositories which provides a /usr/bin/dev file. Therefore you don't need to restore it.

you can have the file back by asking for people who have the same architecture as yours ( not including me:( ) to give you the same file. then you must put it back as user root and give it permission 755.

I don't have any file on my freshly installed Ubuntu as /usr/bin/dev ;)
