Without knowing the changes that were made to your system, we can't know what you did. Quite likely your PATH variable isn't set properly somehow.

Yes, please show us the tutorial that you followed otherwise we can't guess how you broke your system. I agree with threeway that you likely broke your PATH environment variable.

Possibly trough /etc/profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.

step 3: run bellow command:
apt-get remove apt

  • type 'Yes, do as I say!' to agree and remove apt packet
    thats what was wroten in the tuto and the exact command ..
    i guess i removed the apt packet complitly

Well done for blindly following a stupid tutorial...

Go grab http://archive.kali.org/kali/pool/main/a/apt/libapt-pkg5.0_1.4~beta2_amd64.deb and http://archive.kali.org/kali/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.4~beta2_amd64.deb and install them manually with "dpkg -i *.deb".
