The program sudo cannot be found

Question

I am using ubuntu 10.04 and was having the a issues similar to the one mentioned on this sudo changes PATH - why?

I was trying the solution of Tyler Rick and issued this command sudo mv /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/sudo.orig

Quite stupid of me. Now I cannot run sudo anymore because the system throws an error

The program 'sudo' can be found in the follow
 * sudo
 * sudo-ldap
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

Can anyone help me in resolving this issue?

Run /usr/bin/sudo.orig instead of sudo.

Undo the `mv`...? `mv /usr/bin/sudo.orig /usr/bin/sudo` – Matt Ball Sep 10 '13 at 05:18
