The reason for it's removal is the PCRE2 transition. However, upstream released a new version today, which supports both PCRE and PCRE2. I'll see if I can get it uploaded within a day or two. For how we ended up in the situation where scap-security-guide is in testing without the necessary dependencies I cannot tell, it was removed, then after a day, migrated back. Regards, Håvard
