htpasswd executable is missing

Question

I'm running 13.10. Clean install. Ran: sudo apt-get install apache2

I would expect that I would have htpasswd in the /usr/sbin directory along with the apache2 executable. I don't.

I can provide any info necessary.

Please split your question. `htpasswd` is covered here, while you could create a separate question with apache reinstall. — Andrejs Cainikovs, Nov 18 '13 at 16:46

Perhaps you have apache2-utils not installed. Try searching apache-utils in software manager or with command line:

sudo apt-get install apache2-utils

username@host:~$ htpasswd
The program 'htpasswd' can be found in the following packages:
 * apache2-utils
 * mini-httpd
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

The error message is obvious. sudo apt-get install apache2-utils should solve your problem with missing htpasswd binary.

Not if you uninstall that horrible 'command-not-found' package. – Aaron C. de Bruyn Sep 15 '15 at 17:00
