Thanks rob. But now I feel like an idiot... turns out my problem was
forgetting to do the simple step of doing an "apt-get update" first...

ahDuh!

On the other hand since you so kindly pointed me at the allpackages link
above, I quickly bookmarked it and spent some time looking for what I
think is the last of my "simply must have" cherished console
applications... and while I can find:

pgp4pine (1.76-1) [multiverse]
    A PGP/GPG Wrapper for Pine

I can't see where it lists a package for pine itself...

I know I probably ought to ask in a new thread but I figured I'm on a
roll here so what the heck.

Would you care to pull another rabbit out of your hat and tell me where
they get the pine they intend to wrap with pgp4pine????

Probably if I spend enough time with:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html

I'll find a way to as apt-get to look inside packages and tell me which
one does that. (if one does that) you don't suppose they want me to
figure out a source install from the University of Washington?

Hmmnn perhaps this is closer:

http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/linux.html

says (in part):

- -> Debian .deb package built on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
- -> pine_4.64_i386.deb package    MD5: 4cdc6c60dbe8e47829189194b8cbd99a 
- -> 
- -> 
- -> Installing .debs
- -> 
- -> To install the .deb package, the following command should suffice:
- -> 
- -> dpkg -i pine_4.64_i386.deb
- -> 
- -> Uninstalling the package can be done by running the command
- -> dpkg -r pine

I wonder if this would be a safe way to add pine to ubuntu???
