Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  testdrive: Depends: qemu-kvm but it is not installable or
                      kvm (>= 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu12.4) but 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu12.4~hardy1 is to be installed or
                      virtualbox-ose (>= 3.0.8) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

The testdrive package is not available for Ubuntu 8.04:

$ sudo apt-get install testdrive

It looks like you are installing the testdrive package from a third party archive.

If that testdrive package was built for Ubuntu 8.04, then that testdrive package has a bug and your should contact it's author. If it was not built for Ubuntu 8.04 you should not use it.

Either way, KVM in Ubuntu 8.04 does not have a bug.

Your other problem with kvm-source is already covered by kvm-source having a "Suggest" dependency of the linux-headers package.
