I've noticed with some recent Gnome builds, that partimage is no longer available via the repositories. Anyone know the rationale behind this move?

As of Ubuntu 10.04 Server amd64 "sudo aptitude install partimage" is unable to find partimage in the repositories. I would like to access a partimage backup. Does anybody know where to get it?

Just looked in Synaptic - its in the universe (community maintained) repository.

Running 10.04 32-bit desktop here.

The only thing that I see is the Partimage-docs. Not the app.

I think partimage has been removed from the 64 bit repositories, but not the 32 bit repositories.

To compile from a live CD/DVD do something like this:

sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
sudo apt-get install libnewt-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

tar xfjp partimage-0.6.8.tar.bz2

./configure
make
sudo make install

I also did a
sudo apt-get install auto-apt
sudo aptitude install checkinstall
but I don't know if they did anything, or not

Be aware that partimage does NOT work with Ext4 filesystems -- the default for installing Ubuntu 10.04.
