Evidently it's been removed from Hardy as well. That's what I'm running.
I can't find a reason for the removal. Also, why did the update remove it
from my system rather than simply ignoring it?

Thanks.

Does not look like it:

NoOp posted the links to the reasons.

According to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avscan/+bug/248252 it fails to
build from source.

It looks like I read it and it didn't register. The second time I read
it I got it.

The question remains: why did the update *remove* the app instead of
ignoring it?

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I have no idea. Maybe you can glean some clues from the
logs?

/var/log/apt/*
/var/log/dpkg.log*

/var/log/aptitude (if you use aptitude)
/var/lib/aptitude/*

I didn't connect that with reinstalling. Shows how much of a noob I
still am in some areas. The question remains of why the upgrade removed
the previously installed app. I don't see that would have anything to do
with building from source. What am I missing?

Thanks.
