Indeed, a few versions ago CASA didn't ship the ASAP package anymore. This was used for single dish mostly, and has been superseded by the "sd" tools. Too bad, as they did have a a nice line finder, which could be optionally used. In the next release we will silence the warning one way or the other. Until then I'll leave the issue open.
