Try

  apt-get install debianutils

I got the proposal from
  $ apt-file search which | grep 'which$' | less
which still finds 18 lines which end by "which".
Number two looks like the program you look for:
  debianutils: /usr/bin/which

Indeed my system says:
  $ which which
  /usr/bin/which

You may also use bash builtin command

  $ type -p cat
  /usr/bin/cat

Maybe some user-defined alias ?
Try

  alias cat

Mine says "bash: alias: cat: not found". But with "cp" instead of "cat"
it says "alias cp='cp -i'".


Have a nice day :)
