iPhone mounting problem: idevicepair command not found

Question

I've been following the instructions in this answer for trying to read my iPhone from Ubuntu. I'm still getting the error in the question. Under Edit 2 of the answer it says to run

idevicepair unpair

But I tried that and just get

idevicepair: command not found

Tried installing idevicepair but no package can be located. What do I need to do to get my iPhone (3GS) working under Ubuntu (11.04)?

Please can you add the link to "this answer" into your question. Thanks. — fossfreedom, Aug 28 '11 at 23:38

Try installing the package libimobiledevice-utils available in the software center

i.e.

in a terminal type:

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils
