apt-get raises /usr/bin/test: Permission denied
Since some time, whenever I call sudo apt-get update or use similar apt-get options, I get /usr/bin/test: Permission denied. An example:
username:~$ sudo apt-get update
Ign:2 http://...
<...>
Hit:19 http://ppa.launchpad.net/teejee2008/ppa/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Fetched 86,0 kB in 2s (42,2 kB/s)
sh: 1: /usr/bin/test: Permission denied
sh: 1: /usr/bin/test: Permission denied
sh: 1: /usr/bin/test: Permission denied
Reading package lists... Done
apt-get still does its job and everything works fine. Still, the denied permissions do not seem to be regular behaviour and I would like to fix them.
Does anyone know how to solve or approach this problem?
Edit:
After deleting the file /usr/bin/test (which was an empty file), I get /usr/bin/test: not found
username:~$ sudo apt-get update
Hit:1 http://...
<...>

sh: 1: /usr/bin/test: not found
sh: 1: /usr/bin/test: not found
sh: 1: /usr/bin/test: not found
Reading package lists... Done
It seems like some command is accessing the file. Does anyone have an idea how to debug this?

As you deleted the file we cannot diagnose the problem now.
Please get the file that you deleted back by reinstalling the package that contains it:
sudo apt install --reinstall coreutils
If the original issue was caused by wrong permissions on /usr/bin/test this command will solve your problem as well.
