I've got the same problem; I'll post here if I figure it out.

edit: I've found several other people with the problem, all with no replies. This has been since approx Aug of '08. I'm going to assume they disabled the function maybe? Oddly though, when you type help, it's no in the list with a * (it says * denotes disabled). So.....hm.

thanks for the reply man.

Well i also didnt have apt-get in my Mac Terminal, so i installed fink from some site and now apt-get is available in my Mac Terminal, i think there should be the same trick for MobileTerminal as well. I think the definition of apt-get is not installed in the PATH variable.

I have iphone 3g 0n 3.0. My mobile terminal crashed on start up. How did you install on 3.0. Thanks

[raziiq]

No special trick, just installed it the way it should be installed, but one problem i m having is that its up side down and then i have to do 2 finger gesture to make it to original

Raz, for that upside down part I can help - just tilt it like you want to angle towards you, and it will flip. You can go sideways too, but it's more difficult to read, in my opinion.

[raziiq]

Thanks man, that tilt thing helped ,

nobody aware of that apt-get problem??

[raziiq]

waoo i have got it !!!.
thank GOD at last, i have got it.

Well someone else looking for this here is the solution if u are having an unknow command error while using apt.

Firmware 3.0 doesnt have this installed by default when u jailbreak it, so u need to install Aptitude from Cydia, and then if u use apt-get command in Terminal, BOOM, it ll work !!!

I have installed aptitude and terminal, I am using 3.0 on a 3G, but it still comes up with the error: apt-get command not found. :S

Oh i managed to get it to work in the end,Just rebooted it, then it started working for some weird reason :S Ah well ^_^

Installing Aptitude and Erica Utilities worked perfectly for me on OS 3.0, and I could run the apt-get command in Mobile Terminal successfully...
