I'm unable to find where both are. On ubuntu's packages site, they say
both are in universe repo:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/d4x
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ivman

But while looking for them with
apt-cache:

apt-get update
apt-cache search d4x
apt-cache search ivman

none of them appear. May they have been removed already? Directly
looking for them on gNewSense repos:

http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/pool/main/d/
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/pool/main/i/
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/pool/universe/d/
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/pool/universe/i/

gave no result as well. Where could we find them?
