Made an oupsie while testing some protection and executed rm /usr/bin/clang*
3
I deleted clang. I tried to use apt to uninstall clang, and then re-install it but I get this error:
Setting up clang (1:3.8-33ubuntu3.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/clang++ doesn't
exist
dpkg: error processing package clang (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
clang
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I've tried also using apt to remove llvm and reinstall it knowing it should also install clang.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, since further versions are un-workingly buggy for me.
Here's some more info:

You probably need to re-install the underlying dependency package (likelyclang-3.8- but confirm withapt-cache depends clang)

You could reinstall the packages with the --force-overwrite flag:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/clang*
Look at the cache for older versions before you use clang*.

You could search for the failing command in/var/lib/dpkg/info/clang.{postinst,prerm}. I cannot reproduce your error with the provided rm command. Did you do something else?
