As you are working on the Ubuntu 18.04, By default It will have the apt-get Installed. if this Command is not found means the Installation of Ubuntu is not Proper. Please have a check with it.

I suggest an apt-get option

sudo apt-get --ignore-missing install $list_of_packages

but be aware that missing dependences cannot be ignored, and even if you use --force you can get a broken system.

Ubuntu – 500 Internal Server Error whenever I use apt-get

So my problem turned out to be that I'd set an environment variable, which was built into my login script.

setenv http_proxy http://proxy.lib.berkeley.edu:7777/proxy.pac

This was a vain attempt to connect to my library, since chrome in it's wisdom doesn't let you set a proxy connection. (It didn't work).

If apt-get provided any diagnostic output, I'd have figured this out ages ago. But it doesn't (In future releases it would be great if a verbose option were provided.)

Thanks to help from @gertfdijk, I tried the following

wget "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-security/Release.gpg"

which provided me with the diagnostics I needed to track down the error.
