Terminal closes when executing apt-get

Question

Each time I execute apt-get update, my terminal closes unexpectedly in the middle of the execution. I think that happened because my /var/cache/apt/archives file was removed.

Is it possible to "reinstall" apt-get or reset it?

Thanks

Try sudo apt-get install -f (fix broken).

If that does not work, reinstall it with sudo dpkg -i package_name.

You can download apt here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/apt.
