Your installation lacks /sbin/ldconfig and /sbin/start-stop-daemon from
"libc-bin" and "dpkg" packages respectively. Or root's $PATH lack
"/sbin" somehow.
Either way it's not normal, it's a little wonder that you're able to
boot or run any binary executable.


I'd start fixing this mess by checking root's $PATH:

echo $PATH

It literally should have this value:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

Next I'd try this:

apt-get install --reinstall dpkg libc-bin
