Find the package which provides it, then reinstall it

Reinstall
Code:
util-linux-ng
Kind regards

i already do that, but i still get the same message :
" The program 'dmesg' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install util-linux"

when i try to istall util-linux package i got this message :

"util-linux is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded."

apt-get has a --reinstall option, so add that:

Code:
sudo apt-get install util-linux --reinstall

No problem, but please avoid the "SMS speak", as per the LQ rules (i.e. please write out words in full).
