iphoto no more available on the purchase list

I noticed this morning that some apps from Apple are no where to be found on the appStore eventhough you purchased them previously.

iPhoto (but Aperture too and it's also the case for MountainLIon or Mavericks installer) is no more on the Purchase lists so you have no way to reinstall it if you have too (except if you have kept a copy on a physical support such as an external harddrive or a DVD)

In my case, I updated my old iMac from SnowLeopard to Mavericks but now I can't update iPhoto to use the version compatible with Mavericks...

iMac (20-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

It appears that iPhoto 9.6.1 has been removed from the App Store servers as reported by numerous other users today.

I removed all possible versions of iPhoto from my hard drives and was unable to fine iPhoto in my Purchases history. So it appears that the end is nigh for iPhoto as far as the App Store is concerned.

that's also the end for Aperture.... what is the more disappointing is that Apple do not provide any update anymore even though these updates exist and are mandatory when you upgrade your OS

If you use iPhoto and upgrade your OS, your previous version of iPhoto won't run, asking for an update that doesn't exist anymore so you won't be able to open your photo library anymore.
