Atool is a perl script, so it needs to be installed in your host
system (we're assuming that Perl is a base dependency, available on
standard distributions). Don't you have perl? Or maybe your 'env'
binary is placed elsewhere? You can check that by running:

$ which env
$ which perl

If 'env' is outside /usr/bin, just modify that dir in the first line
of Atool. If nothing is returned for 'which perl', then you'll need to
install that with apt-get (or whatever tool Ubuntu is using for
installing new packages).
