Description 

If the Awstats RPM is missing and set to uninstalled in /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.version, cPanel will not automatically reinstall the package.

Workaround

1. Access SSH or Terminal as the root user

2. Confirm Awstats is uninstalled in /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions

   [root@server ~]# grep awstats '/var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions'
   awstats: uninstalled

3. Remove awstats from the /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions file

   /scripts/update_local_rpm_versions --del target_settings.awstats

4. Run /scripts/check_cpanel_pkgs to reinstall Awstats
