@schdief Thank you for bringing this issue to us. We are looking into this issue and will update you on this issue after investigating.

@schdief It was decided not to add this tool to the Ubuntu images due to maintenance concerns and relatively short installation time. Please continue installing it in runtime. We are closing this issue. Thanks.
