Are you sure? It wouldn't remove itself, did you remove it?

Give it a try in terminal to see if it works.

sudo apt-get update

Open the Ubuntu Software Centre and search for apt. And you might see at the top of the list Commandline package manager. If it has a green circle icon with a white tick/check mark then it is still installed. Otherwise, you must hope that Software Centre does not use apt to install software.

You can open a browser, go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/

Scroll down, there is a text search field, locate the package you want (be sure to select the correct distro i.e Quantal)(I'm assuming you need apt)

That would be here http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/apt

Once downloaded you can install the package with

sudo dpkg -i packagenamehere.deb

Here's the other problem.. are we sure the package 'apt' provides apt-get?

Anyone?

yes that should do it

$ apt-file search $(which apt-get)
apt: /usr/bin/apt-get
haskell-debian-utils: /usr/bin/apt-get-build-depends
