WTF? apt-get install apt ?!



I was messing around with Ubuntu, when suddenly got a boot problem. Amazingly when the maintenance shell tried to start, it could not find some commands and so automatically tried to install them using apt-get, but it could not also find apt-get so the final output was the brilliant: "The program apt-get is currently not installed. You can install it by typing apt-get install apt". Nice tip! I'm going to write it down so I don't forget it! :P
