I found a downloadable package here:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hfsprogs/hfsprogs_332.14-4.diff.gz

so I now have it downloaded and unpacked on my ubuntu usb stick

...can I install it manually? if so how?

[23dornot23d]

Use Synaptic Package Manager

Check the Repositories that are ticked .... you could be missing one ....

Check Universe .....

[23dornot23d]

Try Synaptic ....... as installing from a compressed file means compiling it ....

I think one of your repositories is not ticked for use ......

I did a search too and think it should be available for maverick ....
