But what sense does it make for apt-get to suggest a package that no longer exists? Is this a bug in apt-get or hostapd?

If it was a bug, then it would be a bug in the package (hostapd),
because apt-get just reports what the packages says its
dependencies are.

However, in this case it does not look like a bug at all, as the
most recent version of the package has correct dependencies.


Hope this helps,
