Yes, I noticed this as well.  ftpsearch.ntnu.no still lists some sites
having gnapster-1.3.11-2mdk, but the main sites no longer carry it.  I
really dislike the fact that gnapster disappeared for 2 reasons:

1) IMHO it is one of the best napster clients.  Sure, this doesn't mean
much, as this is just my opinion, but nonetheless...
2) As Guillaume pointed out, there was no message from Mandrake that they
are going to pull gnapster out of the distribution.  On the one hand, that
is their perfect right, as they have got to make money with the distribution
and all, but on the other hand I would very much like to know the reasons
for why the remove a particular package.
