As I think at least one other person has noted, this does not appear to
be available in the Debian archives, at least not as far as I've managed
to determine.

To my eye, this looks as if something is telling apt that version
0.4.8-1 is available somewhere, and the upgrade session is deciding that
it needs to install that version, but then none of the configured
sources include that version (and it's not already cached locally).
What do
$ apt-cache policy brscan4
$ apt-cache rdepends brscan4
say?
