Bug Description

Hi,

I tried to install ghc6 (6.8.2-2ubuntu1) on a Virtuozzo vServer
(Kernel 2.6.9-023stab048.6-enterprise #1 SMP) with Ubuntu 8.04.2:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~$ sudo apt-get install ghc6

After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Richte ghc6 ein (6.8.2-2ubuntu1) ...

This is caused by a version of the kernel that is too old. If you can upgrade the kernel or libc6 then please do. Otherwise I don't think we are going to be able to fix this, sorry. See the following links for more information:
