I know only one paste executable (/usr/bin/paste), it is contained in coreutils package. You can reinstall it with:



sudo apt-get install --reinstall coreutils


If it does not help you can try the following.

Usually it is absolutely not recommended but in your rare case I suggest to manually unpack contents of deb package with:



sudo dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.27.1-6ubuntu3.4_amd64.deb /
