what does "echo $PATH" as root say?
did you try to just reopen a shell as root, maybe it was just your current session that messed up $PATH.

root's path gets set via the file "/root/.profile". you should have these two lines there:
Code:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH

How does apt-get purge differ from a normal apt-get remove?

purge removes all files, including configuration.
without --purge, package-specific stuff under f.ex. /etc will not be deleted.

@SubCore:
thank you for your reply
Code:
 $ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin
if my path should be in /root/.profile file maybe I deleted it involuntarily when I allowed alias ll=ls -la
If your string is a complete tipical root path I append it to my .profile
Please confirm me it
Thank you

that's the user's path, not root. every user has it's own $PATH variable set.
although for a user it's the correct path

and yes, the lines i quoted came directly from my /root/.profile, which has been unaltered.

Here's the full content of /root/.profile

Code:
# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
  . ~/.bashrc
fi

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH

This may be a result of using "sudo gainroot" instead of "root" - the PATH you get differs between the two.

maybe you have to enable the right repository where this app is!
