Hi Brian,

please do not send private mails if you want to be sure to get quick help.  The Debian Med packages are team maintained and your chances to get an answer are way higher when contacting the team ... specifically if my spam filter catches your mail. ;-)

They need to set up the machine using the same software they used before, in order that they treat all their data the same way until this project is finished.  They need to set up bwa 0.6.2-1 and use it until this project is finished, but I cannot locate the package in order to install it.  I have also looked for an rpm of this version, no luck.  They don't have an archive with the installation package and they prefer to install it the same way as before instead of building it from source.  Do you know  how we can get a copy of the old version?  My searches have not revealed anything useful.

You might like to pick from

   http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/bwa/

You can drain practically each releases Debian package from there but it is not guaranteed that it runs on a recent Debian release.  In case you might have trouble you might like to download the source package and rebuild it.

Hope this helps
